hypercalcemia in patients with diagnosed carcinoma has predominantly a humoral basis mediated by parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTH-rP). Among the reported cases, hypercalcemia associated with the majority of abdominal malignancies indicates an advanced stage of disease.
we present a case of a 78-year-old patient with an adenosquamous pancreatic carcinoma associated with humoral hypercalcemia mediated by PTH-rP.
in this case, demonstration of unexpectantly rapid increase in calcium serum correlated with aggressive tumor growth led us to raise the hypothesis that PTH-rP could be a mediator of invasion and dissemination secreted by some tumors, and probably indicates the appropriate time to initiate palliative treatment.
已确诊的癌症患者出现高钙血症主要是由甲状旁腺激素相关蛋白(PTH-rP)介导的体液因素所致。在已报道的病例中,大多数腹部恶性肿瘤相关的高钙血症提示疾病处于晚期。
我们报告一例78岁患有腺鳞癌的胰腺癌患者,其高钙血症由PTH-rP介导的体液因素引起。
在该病例中,血清钙意外快速升高与肿瘤侵袭性生长相关,这使我们提出假说,即PTH-rP可能是某些肿瘤分泌的侵袭和扩散介质,这可能提示开始姑息治疗的合适时机。
