Fig. 4From: Severe hypercalcemia caused by parathyroid hormone in a rectal cancer metastasis: a case reportRelative PTH mRNA expression in biopsies before and after onset of hypercalcemia. Mean values + standard deviations of three replicates are presented as fold change relative to rectum tumor. The two leftmost bars show detectable PTH expression levels in the resected rectum tumor, but not in the first fibula biopsy, taken 10 years later, before onset of hypercalcemia. The two rightmost bars represent expression levels 1 year later, after onset of hypercalcemia, in the relapsed fibular tumor and in an ipsilateral inguinal lymph nodeBack to article page
