Calcium Sensing Receptor Linked to Hypercalcemia in Breast Cancer

Mutations in the CaSR gene may be at least partially responsible for high serum calcium levels in breast cancer patients which in turn lead to more aggressive disease and poorer prognosis, according to a recent retrospective case control study at the Vanderbilt University.

Calcium sensing receptor polymorphisms may be associated with hypercalcemia in breast cancer
- Hypercalcemia in breast cancer is associated with more aggressive disease and larger tumors
- Calcium sensing receptor mutations may be one of the factors causing hypercalcemia in breast cancer
