Carcinoma of the Prostate
His serum calcium level and carcinoembryonic antigen were increased. He died 5 months from the start of treatment.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
A high-calcium diet is also thought to increase your risk, while eating cooked tomatoes and Brazil nuts could lower it, but more research is needed into the effect of diet[thesun.co.uk]
It can be treated with medicines, calcium and vitamin D. Progressive weight-bearing exercise help strengthen bones.[urologyhealth.org]

Adenocarcinoma of the Breast
Breast adenocarcinoma continues to be the most frequently diagnosed tumor entity. Despite established therapy options, mortality for breast cancer remains to be as high as 40,000 patients in the US annually. Thus, a need to develop a patient-oriented, targeted therapy exists. In this study, we investigated the[…][ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Small Cell Carcinoma of the Lung
Less common symptoms of lung carcinoid tumors may include sudden growth of the hands and feet (acromegaly) and increased blood calcium (hypercalcemia).[mskcc.org]

Graves Disease
Hyperthyroidism is associated with an increased excretion of calcium and phosphorous in the urine and stool, which results in a loss of bone mineral.[medicinenet.com]
[…] excretion of calcium and phosphorus in the urine and stool.[en.wikipedia.org]
The increase in bone loss can be demonstrated by increased urinary pyridinoline cross-link excretion.[emedicine.medscape.com]
Paraneoplastic Syndrome
Increased calcium in blood. Can lead to renal failure. 50% mortality rate if advanced. Considered RT emergency. Most common paraneoplastic syndrome.[quizlet.com]
It increases renal calcium absorption and decreases renal phosphorus absorption.[doi.org]
Since parathyroid hormone-related protein and IL-1α (osteoclast-activating factor) synergistically increase the concentration of serum calcium, and since IL-1α (hemopoietin[cancerres.aacrjournals.org]

Relapsed Small Cell Lung Cancer
Background: The treatment efficacy of second-line chemotherapy in poor-risk patients with refractory-relapsed small-cell lung cancer is unclear. Methods: We defined refractory relapse as treatment-free interval Results: Twenty-three poor-risk patients with refractory-relapsed small-cell lung cancer were treated[…][ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
