Overview
Parathyroid cancer was first described by Sainton and Millot, in 1933. In 1928, the first parathyroidectomy operation was conducted by Isaac Y. Olch to treat parathyroid lesions.
Discovery
- In 1904, De Quevain mentioned about parathyroid cancer in a person with a non-functioning lesion.[1]
- Parathyroid cancer was first described in 1933 by Sainton and Millot.[2]
Landmark Events in the Development of Treatment Strategies
- The first successful removal of the parathyroid may have been carried out in 1928 by doctor Isaac Y Olch, whose intern had noticed elevated calcium levels in an elderly patient with muscle weakness. Prior to this surgery, patients with removed parathyroid gland typically died from muscular tetani.[3]
