Male Doctors For Parathyroid Cancer In Pakistan

The parathyroid glands are four tiny glands attached to the thyroid gland. They are under Adam's apple in the neck. Parathyroid cancer, like other cancers, occurs when cells grow unchecked. Doctors do not know exactly what causes it. It is a rare type of slow-growing cancer. In the United States, there are not even 100 cases a year. People who are suffering are usually over 30 years old. The thyroid helps to control how your body uses calcium. Calcium strengthens the bones. It helps the muscles and nerves to do their job. The parathyroid glands play a role here. They produce a hormone that helps the body to store and use calcium. It's called PTH, the parathyroid hormone. Most people with parathyroid cancer produce too much PTH. This leads to an excess of calcium in the blood (called hypercalcemia).
