Parathyroid cancer is a clinical diagnosis, meaning that you make the diagnosis of parathyroid cancer by the patient's symptoms, blood tests, and findings in the operating room. The pathologist may not be able to tell if this is cancer even by looking at it under the microscope. The best chance of curing parathyroid cancer is to catch the disease early and remove it promptly.
