| Abstract: | Thirty‐five women with breast cancer and primary hyperparathyroidism (1°HFT) were admitted to Memorial Hospital during a 25‐year period. The incidence of primary hyperparathyroidism in the breast cancer patients was similar to the incidence in the total patient population at Memorial Sloan‐Kettering Cancer Center (0.15% and 0.14%, respectively). The patients with 1°HPT disease had clinical findings which distinguished them from those patients with cancer‐related hypercalcemia. Eighty percent of the breast cancer patients with primary hyperparathyroidism had earlier stage disease (Stage 0, Stage 1, Stage 2); whereas 97% of the patients with breast cancer and hypercalcemia (not due to 1°HPT) had advanced disease. There appeared to be a trend towards improved survival in the breast cancer patients with primary hyperparathyroidism when compared to patients of similar stage of disease who did not have parathyroid disease.
