Breast cancers are one of the most common malignancies to be associated with hypercalcemia. Most often the hypercalcemia is due to osteolytic metastases and hence portends a bad prognosis. A significant number of the patients with breast cancers (up to 15%) show hypercalcemia in the absence of metastasis.
Hypercalcemia is relatively common in patients with cancer, occurring in approximately 20 to 30 percent of cases. It is the most common cause of hypercalcemia in the inpatient setting.
