Parathyroid Cancer: Treatment in Israel

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

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

The surgery to remove the tumour 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.

For small tumours, 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 cancer in Israel is not limited to tumour removal. After parathyroidectomy, the endocrinologists at Ichilov Top consult the patient: to prevent the development of tetany - a pathological condition caused by a decrease in the concentration of ionized calcium in the blood - the patient will need to take calcium and vitamin D supplements in large amounts.

Diagnosis of Parathyroid Cancer at Ichilov Top

Diagnosing a parathyroid gland tumour and differentiating a benign neoplasm from cancer is quite challenging: a thorough examination at a modern medical center is necessary. 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 levels, parathyroid hormone, tumour markers, etc.);
• Urine tests;
• Intraoperative ultrasound;
• Biopsy of the tumour.

To clarify the diagnosis, doctors may prescribe additional research methods for the patient.
