Hypercalcemia in advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma: prevalence and potential impact on palliative care.

30 Aug 2009 Hypercalcemia is common in patients with advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). In this study, hypercalcemia was detected in 46 (51%) of 90 eligible patients with HNSCC over 4 years. Compared with nonhypercalcemics, hypercalcemics ... Read more...
