Hypercalcemia, a common cancer complication, involves bone and kidney calcium regulation. This review covers its causes, parathyroid hormone-related protein roles, and new markers for monitoring treatment response.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Endocrinology
  • Bone Metabolism

Background:

  • Hypercalcemia is the most frequent paraneoplastic syndrome in cancer patients.
  • It significantly impacts patient morbidity and mortality.
  • Understanding its mechanisms is crucial for effective management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the etiology and pathogenesis of hypercalcemia of malignancy.
  • To discuss the roles of parathyroid hormone-related protein and osteolytic cytokines.
  • To introduce novel biochemical markers for monitoring treatment response.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of etiology, pathogenesis, and clinical management.
  • Discussion of humoral and local factors affecting calcium homeostasis.
  • Introduction of urinary pyridinoline and deoxypyridinoline as markers.

Main Results:

  • Parathyroid hormone-related protein is a key mediator of humoral hypercalcemia.
  • Local osteolytic effects also contribute significantly to elevated calcium levels.
  • New biochemical markers offer improved monitoring of bone metastases treatment.

Conclusions:

  • Effective management of hypercalcemia involves addressing both humoral and local bone effects.
  • Bisphosphonates, glucocorticoids, and calcitonin are key therapeutic agents.
  • Emerging biochemical markers aid in personalized treatment strategies for cancer-related hypercalcemia.
