Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this research is to determine the rate of recurrence, metastasis and survival outcomes of patients diagnosed with and treated for parathyroid carcinoma.
Methods: This research is a retrospective chart review for patients diagnosed with parathyroid carcinomas between 1 January 2007 and 31 December 2022 in a UK tertiary centre.
Results: Fourteen patients were identified, all of whom received surgery following their diagnosis. On presentation, all patients (100 per cent) were hypercalcaemic, with two patients (14 per cent) having metastatic lesions. There was a single case (7 per cent) of loco-regional recurrence following surgery. Six patients passed away after a median follow up of 2.5 years, four due to causes related to parathyroid carcinoma.
Conclusion: Surgical excision remains the mainstay of treatment, but this can only be undertaken after the patient has been medically stabilised. Mortality in this group of patients generally arose from the effects of hypercalcaemia. Metastasis and recurrence from our cohort were rare, but long-term follow up with monitoring of calcium and parathyroid hormone levels remain keys.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Laryngology & Otology (JLO) is a leading, monthly journal containing original scientific articles and clinical records in otology, rhinology, laryngology and related specialties. Founded in 1887, JLO is absorbing reading for ENT specialists and trainees. The journal has an international outlook with contributions from around the world, relevant to all specialists in this area regardless of the country in which they practise. JLO contains main articles (original, review and historical), case reports and short reports as well as radiology, pathology or oncology in focus, a selection of abstracts, book reviews, letters to the editor, general notes and calendar, operative surgery techniques, and occasional supplements. It is fully illustrated and has become a definitive reference source in this fast-moving subject area. Published monthly an annual subscription is excellent value for money. Included in the subscription is access to the JLO interactive web site with searchable abstract database of the journal archive back to 1887.
