Recent advances in parathyroid tumors and paragangliomas.
The management of parathyroid tumors has advanced mainly in the area of imaging with ultrasonography and nuclear scanning. Surgery remains the preferred treatment for parathyroid tumors and paragangliomas. Information about genetic aspects of parathyroid tumors has increased, but the rarity of parathyroid tumors and paragangliomas has limited the pace of advancement in knowledge about their biology and clinical aspects.
