Q

Immediate treatment for severe symptomatic hypercalcemia is

A

volume repletion with normal saline. Long-term therapy of hypercalcemia of malignancy involves treatment with bisphosphonates, which may cause osteonecrosis of the jaw. Hypercalcemia of malignancy (driven by PTH related peptide) is most commonly seen as a consequence of squamous cell, renal, breast, or bladder cancer. Hypercalcemia may also be caused by hematologic malignancies via the upregulation of cytokines and vitamin D, as well as via local osteolysis, which is seen in breast cancer and multiple myeloma. In hypercalcemia of malignancy, bisphosphonates are the cornerstone of long-term therapy. Bisphosphonates inhibit osteoclastic activity, reducing both the formation and the resorption of hydroxyapatite. They are used in malignancy-associated hypercalcemia as well as Paget’s disease of the bone and postmenopausal osteoporosis. Important toxicities to remember are corrosive esophagitis nausea, diarrhea, and osteonecrosis of the jaw.
