Workup
X-Ray
- Nephrolithiasis
She was initially diagnosed with acute exacerbation of chronic renal failure related to recurrent nephrolithiasis. At clinical examination, a palpable neck mass was observed. [scielo.br]
Indeed, severe nephrolithiasis, nephrocalcinosis, and impaired renal function with bone loss is noted in nearly 80% of affected patients ( 3 ). The latter may include osteitis fibrosa cystica, diffuse osteopenia, or even pathologic fractures. [frontiersin.org]
Treatment
When clinical trials show that a new treatment is better than the standard treatment, the new treatment may become the standard treatment. Patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial. [cancer.gov]

The optimal treatment is related to early diagnosis with clinical and laboratorial suspicion for this entity prior to surgery, once complete resection of primary site is intended. [scielo.br]
You can help by adding to it. ( November 2017 ) Treatment [ edit ] Parathyroid carcinoma is sometimes diagnosed during surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism. [en.wikipedia.org]
Treatment and prognosis Surgery is successful in treating primary hyperparathyroidism caused by parathyroid adenomas in 95-98% of cases 17. [radiopaedia.org]
Prognosis
Certain factors affect prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment options. The prognosis (chance of recovery ) and treatment options depend on the following: Whether the calcium level in the blood can be controlled. The stage of the cancer. [cancer.gov]

Prevention
However, a user would be allowed to write a sentence such as “NCI’s PDQ cancer information summary about breast cancer prevention states the risks in the following way: [include excerpt from the summary].” [cancer.gov]
HBS is considered a complication of parathyroid surgery observed in 13-30% of cases (18), and some studies advocate the use of bisphosphonates prior to surgery in order to prevent this post-operative outcome (19). [scielo.br]
