The majority of patients with both hyperparathyroidism and osteoporosis who undergo parathyroidectomy benefit from surgery with improvement in their bone mineral density. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23040710/ #CheckYourCalcium #JAM2020 @TheAACE @ParaTroupers1 @TheEndoSociety

Thyroid cancer is considered “advanced” if it has invaded nearby structures (esophagus, muscles, etc.) or spread outside of the neck (lung, liver, bone, etc.). #THYCAM2020 @AmThyroidAssn @TheEndoSociety @TheAACE @ThyCaInc

Dr. Kocher was a beloved Swiss surgeon who revolutionized thyroidectomy technique. He changed a surgery with high risk of death into the modern safe operation performed worldwide by expert endocrine surgeons. #THYCAM2020 @ATALeadership @TheEndoSociety @TheAACE @ThyCaInc

The word Pheochromocytoma comes from the color the tumor turns (dusky) when exposed to chromium salts. This is known as the chromaffin reaction #AADAM2021 @NADF_President @TheAACE @TheEndoSociety

Negative preop imaging does not exclude pts from surgery for hyperparathyroidism. Experienced parathyroid surgeons have high cure rate (95%) with or without preoperative localization. doi.org/10.1210/jc.200… #CheckYourCalcium #JAM2020 @TheAACE @ParaTroupers1 @TheEndoSociety

Without surgery, primary hyperparathyroidism results in decreased bone density in the majority of patients, raising questions about how long patients should be followed without intervention. 10.1210/jc.2007-1215 #CheckYourCalcium #JAM2020 @TheAACE @ParaTroupers1 @TheEndoSociety

July is Parathyroid Awareness Month! Normal parathyroid glands are tiny – like a grain of rice. A parathyroid adenoma can be the size of a large blueberry or even a grape! #CheckYourCalcium #PAM2022 @TheAACE @ParaTroupers1 @TheEndoSociety

The parathyroid glands are located close to the thyroid gland. The upper (superior) parathyroid glands are located deeper in the neck, while the lower (inferior) parathyroid glands are more towards the front of the neck. #CheckYourCalcium #PAM2022 @TheAACE @ParaTroupers1

Not all thyroid cancer recurrences require surgery! Small lymph node recurrences in the neck can often be observed, however recurrent nodes >0.8 cm in the central neck & >1 cm in the lateral neck are typically removed. #THYCAM2021 @ThyCaInc @TheAACE @AmThyroidAssn @TheEndoSociety

Thyroid cancer affects women more than men, usually in ppl aged 25-65yrs. Incidence has been increasing the last decade and often presents as thyroid incidentalomas. The overall incidence in a cold nodule is 12%-15%. #THYCAM2020 @ATALeadership @TheEndoSociety @TheAACE @ThyCaInc
