<unk>  is sometimes diagnosed during surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism. If the surgeon suspects<unk>  based on severity or invasion of surrounding tissues by a firm<unk>  tumor, aggressive excision is performed, including the thyroid and surrounding tissues as necessary. Agents such as calcimimetics (for example, cinacalcet) are used to mimic calcium and are able to activate the<unk>  calcium-sensing receptor (making the<unk>  gland "think" we have more calcium than we actually do), therefore lowering the calcium level, in an attempt to decrease the hypercalcemia.
