The hypercalcemia of malignancy
Kidney International, 1987 The hypercalcemia of malignancy is mediated by complex and heterogeneous mechanisms. Once thought of as a simple paraneoplastic syndrome mediated by the effects of tumor production of PTH, it is now clear that multiple mechanisms are involved and that these mechanisms involve abnormalities in calcium transport in bone, kidney, and gut.
