Studies of breast cancer suggest that parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) is important in the development of bone metastases. To determine whether PTHrP expression is important in prostate cancer metastasis, immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization were used to assess the expression of

## BACKGROUND. Although lung carcinoma is the most common cause of tumorinduced hypercalcemia (TIH), the precise incidence of TIH remains obscure. Furthermore, the role of parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) has not been clearly elucidated.
Background. Parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) has been regarded as one of the substances causing humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy. Methods. The immunohistochemical localization of PTHrP was investigated in 33 cases of gastric cancer (4 with heterotopic ossification and 29 without heter
Elevated levels of parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) in hypercalcemic myeloma patients were demonstrated in recent reports, suggesting that PTHrP behaves as a humoral mediator of hypercalcemia in myeloma. Herein we describe a hypercalcemic myeloma patient with a high serum PTHrP level. Mor
