## Abstract ## Background Parathyroid hormoneโrelated protein (PTHrP) is mainly responsible for hypercalcemia in squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs). ## Methods We retrospectively checked the appearance of hypercalcemia among 33 patients who died with head and neck SCC. Serum concentrations of Cโter
## Abstract ## Background. Serum levels of parathyroid hormoneโrelated peptide (PTHrP) can be elevated with malignancy and cause hypercalcemia, which has been associated with a poor prognosis. ## Methods. We present a case of supraglottic squamous cell carcinoma with elevated serum PTHrP and hyp
Hypercalcemia is a well-recognized phenomenon in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, but the incidence of hypercalcemia in this group of patients is not clear. We have reviewed the records of 166 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck presented at the Boston VA Medical
