Treatment with cinacalcet and intravenous bisphosphonate has improved the previously often fatal prognosis of parathyroid cancer. We report two cases, of which one did not react to treatment and died within a short time-frame. In the other case, cinacalcet controlled serum calcium during a prolonged time period despite metastases. However, increasing doses of cinacalcet combined with more frequent intravenous bisphosphonate were necessary.
