✦ Synopsis


Forty three patients, admitted to the department of Neurological Surgery for management of central nervous system tumours, were studied pre-operatively for serum myelin basic protein immunoreactivity as a marker of central nervous system lesion and for circulating immunoglobulins and complement (C3) levels. Myelin basic protein concentration did not appear to correlate with tumour type or grade. Serum immunoglobulin levels were found to be within the normal range but the mean IgM level was significantly higher in the glioma group when compared with meningiomas.

Secretion by tumours of parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHrP) in quantities sufficient to raise circulating levels results in the syndrome of humoral hypercalcaemia of malignancy (HHM). Since HHM is commonly associated with squamous carcinoma of lung and rarely with adenocarcinoma or lung neur
