Parathyroid Gland Cancer: Treatment in Israel

At Ichilov Top Clinic, parathyroid gland cancer is treated using the most effective methods.

Complete surgical removal of the tumor along with the gland or radical parathyroidectomy can completely cure the patient if the disease has not progressed to an advanced stage. If the tumor has already metastasized to nearby lymph nodes in the neck and mediastinum, surgeons additionally perform lymphadenectomy.

The surgery to remove the tumor and gland must be performed exclusively by experienced surgeons, as it is very important not to damage the capsule of the neoplasm. Rupture of the capsule often leads to implantation recurrence of the disease.

In cases of small tumor size, the surgeons at Ichilov Top perform a minimally invasive surgery using the most modern endoscopic equipment: only the cancer-affected tissue is removed, while healthy areas remain intact. The surgery is conducted under biopsy control, as well as using laser spectroscopy, ultrasound, gamma detection, and other control methods.

Treatment of parathyroid gland cancer in Israel does not stop with tumor removal. After parathyroidectomy, the endocrinologists at Ichilov Top consult the patient: to prevent the development of tetany - a pathological condition caused by decreased concentration of ionized calcium in the blood - the patient will need to take calcium and vitamin D supplements in large amounts.

Diagnosis of Parathyroid Gland Cancer at Ichilov Top

Diagnosing a parathyroid gland tumor and differentiating a benign neoplasm from cancer is quite challenging: it requires examination at a modern medical center. The doctors at Ichilov Top Clinic offer their patients the following basic examination program:

• Consultation with an endocrinologist;
• Specific blood tests (total and ionized calcium in the blood, parathyroid hormone, tumor markers, etc.);
• Urine tests;
• Intraoperative ultrasound;
• Biopsy of the tumor.

To clarify the diagnosis, doctors may prescribe additional examination methods.
