There are several reports of an increased occurrence of nonparathyroid cancer in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism. Whether there is a cause and effect relationship has not been established. Especially, the coexistence of the parathyroid and thyroid tumors appears significantly high. Recently PRAD 1 was determined the one of the oncogenes of parathyroid adenoma. Interest in PRAD 1's role with respect to oncogenesis has been intensified by its incrimination in other, nonparathyroid, human tumors. If properly conducted surveillance programs do indicate a higher likelihood of cancer in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism, the current philosophy that the patient with mild and asymptomatic hyperparathyroidism does not need the surgery must be reevaluated.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006961 Hyperparathyroidism A condition of abnormally elevated output of PARATHYROID HORMONE (or PTH) triggering responses that increase blood CALCIUM. It is characterized by HYPERCALCEMIA and BONE RESORPTION, eventually leading to bone diseases. PRIMARY HYPERPARATHYROIDISM is caused by parathyroid HYPERPLASIA or PARATHYROID NEOPLASMS. SECONDARY HYPERPARATHYROIDISM is increased PTH secretion in response to HYPOCALCEMIA, usually caused by chronic KIDNEY DISEASES.
D008297 Male Males
D009857 Oncogenes Genes whose gain-of-function alterations lead to NEOPLASTIC CELL TRANSFORMATION. They include, for example, genes for activators or stimulators of CELL PROLIFERATION such as growth factors, growth factor receptors, protein kinases, signal transducers, nuclear phosphoproteins, and transcription factors. A prefix of "v-" before oncogene symbols indicates oncogenes captured and transmitted by RETROVIRUSES; the prefix "c-" before the gene symbol of an oncogene indicates it is the cellular homolog (PROTO-ONCOGENES) of a v-oncogene.
