The significance of the hormone calcitonin, ectopically produced, is evaluated as a tumour marker. Since 40 percent of an unselected sample of tumours is hypercalcitoninaemic, calcitonin may be useful as a tumour marker, though absence of specificity limits its diagnostic value.
对异位产生的降钙素作为一种肿瘤标志物的意义进行了评估。由于在未经筛选的肿瘤样本中有40%存在高降钙素血症,降钙素可能作为一种肿瘤标志物有用,尽管缺乏特异性限制了其诊断价值。
