Hypercalcemia of malignancy and new treatment options - 0 views

  • Hypercalcemia of malignancy occurs as the result of direct bone metastasis and via humoral mechanisms such as parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) or 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D mediated pathways
  • ectopic secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH) has been implicated
  • Hypercalcemia due to osteolytic bone lesions is common in multiple myeloma, leukemia, and breast cancer
  • ...22 more annotations...
  • Humoral hypercalcemia is predominant in squamous cell, renal cell and ovarian cancers, and lymphomas are associated with 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D mediated hypercalcemia
  • 20% of cases of hypercalcemia of malignancy and is frequently encountered in multiple myeloma, metastatic breast cancer, and to a lesser extent in leukemia and lymphoma
  • Physiologic bone turnover requires the complementary activity of osteoblasts – mesenchymal stem cell-derived bone-forming cells – and bone-resorbing cells of monocyte and macrophage lineage known as osteoclasts
  • In local osteolytic hypercalcemia, the RANKL/RANK interaction results in excessive osteoclast activation leading to enhanced bone resorption and thus hypercalcemia
  • In addition, osteoclast activation is also mediated by malignancy secreted cytokines, including interleukin-1, initially termed “osteoclast stimulating factor”
  • Macrophage inflammation protein 1-alpha (MIP 1-alpha)
  • hypercalcemia is through extra-renal 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (calcitriol) production
  • 1% of cases
  • increased production of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D occurs nearly exclusively in Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma with case reports of the same in ovarian dysgerminoma
  • 1-α-hydroxylase in the kidney, a process regulated by PTH
  • in 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D induced hypercalcemia, malignant cells likely recruit and induce adjacent macrophages to express 1-α-hydroxylase, converting endogenous calcidiol into calcitriol.31 Calcitriol then binds to receptors in the intestine leading to heightened enteric calcium reabsorption with resultant hypercalcemia
  • this mechanism of disease is best conceptualized as an absorptive form of hypercalcemia
  • Ectopic production of PTH by malignant cells has been described in a handful of cases involving cancer of the ovary and lung, as well as neuroendocrine tumors and sarcoma
  • primary hyperparathyroidism and malignancy comprising nearly 90% of cases of hypercalcemia
  • an initial panel consisting of PTH, PTHrP, phosphorus, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D should be obtained
  • Lymphoma, a hypercalcemia due to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D mediated pathways, is implied by elevations in 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D without concomitant elevations in 25-hydroxyvitamin D. In such cases, PTH is low and PTHrP undetectable
  • Treatment of hypercalcemia of malignancy is aimed at lowering the serum calcium concentration by targeting the underlying disease, specifically by inhibiting bone resorption, increasing urinary calcium excretion, and to a lesser extent by decreasing intestinal calcium absorption
  • mildly symptomatic disease
  • marked symptoms
  • hydration with isotonic fluid (if admitted), avoidance of thiazide diuretics, and a low-calcium diet
  • denosumab
  • Denosumab is an RANKL antibody that inhibits osteoclast maturation, activation, and function

    low vitamin D predicts increased risk of Major adverse cardiac and/or cerebrovascular events after cardiac surgery.  The definition of low D was <30.  A better study would have been to stratify by 10s the risk.

    low vitamin D and PTH in black and white elderly associated with increased mortality; however, the black elderly have lower vitamin D levels in comparison to their white counterparts.  How does this play a in increased advanced disease?  I believe quite a bit.
