A clinical study on the hypercalcemia in primary bronchogenic carcinoma

초록

The hypercalcemia in lung cancer was found more frequently in men between 50 and 69 years of age, and in the patients who had poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma or the carcinoma in advanced stage. Mean serum calcium level was higher in more symptomatic patients and in the patients with worse performance scale or larger tumor mass. The prognosis of hypercalcemic patients with lung cancer was extremely poor.
