    Author: Wiseman SM, Rigual NR, Hicks WL, Popat SR, Lore JM, Douglas WG, Jacobson MJ, Tan D, Loree TR.
    Journal: Ear Nose Throat J; 2004 Jul; 83(7):491-4. PubMed ID: 15372923.
    Abstract:
    We conducted a retrospective study of 13 patients with parathyroid carcinoma to assess their clinical characteristics and surgical outcomes. Study parameters included patient demographics, survival, treatment response, and recurrence. We found that all patients who had undergone local tumor excision developed a recurrence, compared with only 33% of those available for follow-up after en bloc tumor resection. Based on these findings, we recommend en bloc tumor resection as the initial treatment of choice for patients diagnosed with parathyroid carcinoma.
