Abstract

Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) is a rare syndrome with common presenting signs and symptoms secondary to primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), which is managed surgically. Traditionally, either subtotal parathyroidectomy (SPTX) or total parathyroidectomy with autologous transplantation (TPTX) is the approach of choice. However, recent studies showed comparable persistence and recurrence rate in a subset of MEN1 patients (two or more concordant preoperative imaging results) who underwent less than subtotal parathyroidectomy (LSPTX). We report a case of patient with PHPT and delayed diagnosis of MEN1, who underwent LSPTX without intraoperative parathyroid hormone (IOPTH) measurement. The approach was chosen based on the preoperative imaging studies. Unfortunately, the PHPT persisted and the patient was reoperated. To further elucidate the issue, a systematic search of the literature was conducted on Cochrane library, PubMed, and Scopus; articles relevant to the case were reviewed. Results are conflicting results with most of the studies showed LSPTX is inferior compared to the other two approaches. Therefore, given the current body of evidence, we consider that subtotal or total parathyroidectomy is still the preferred ...Continue Reading

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.
