It produces a hormone called parathyroid hormone (PTH), which controls how the body stores and uses calcium. Parathyroid cancer is a condition where the cells of the parathyroid gland become malignant (cancerous). Parathyroid cancers are rare; while problems with the parathyroid gland are common, these are not usually cancer related.

(5 links) Multilpe endocrine neoplasia (MEN) are rare fimilial (inherited) conditions affecting the glands of the endocrine system: - Multiple endocrine neoplasia I (MEN type I) also known as Wermer's syndrome - Multiple endocrine neoplasia IIA (MEN type IIa) also known as Sipple Syndrome - Multiple endocrine neoplasia IIB (MEN type IIb) - Familial medullary thyroid carcinoma, (FMTC) is a similar inherited condition were medullary thyroid carcinoma may occur in several family members, though not necessarily with the other endocrine tumours seen in MEN. MEN I typically affects parathyroid, the pancreas, and the pituitary while MEN IIa and MEN IIb are associated with medullary thyroid carcinoma.
