PURPOSE: To determine whether parathyroidhormone-related peptide (PTHRP) is an
important pathogenetic mediator of hypercalcemia in patients with hematologic
malignancies. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We conducted a cohort analytic study in 76
consecutive patients with nonHodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), Hodgkin's disease, multiple

normal subjects served as a control group. RESULTS: Using the NH2-terminal …
