Hypercalcemia is an increased level of calcium in the bloodstream. This disorder is most commonly caused by malignancy (called hypercalcemia of malignancy) or primary hyperparathyroidism. Other causes of elevated calcium are less common and are usually not considered until it has been determined that neither malignancy nor parathyroid disease is present. Hypercalcemia of malignancy occurs in approximately 10% of patients with advanced cancers. The occurrence of hypercalcemia may rise as high as 40% in some types of cancer, including breast, lung and multiple myeloma. What Causes Hypercalcemia? Hypercalcemia of malignancy has many causes. It may be related to the spread of cancer from its site of origin to bones in the body, a process called metastasis. Cancer cells can spread, or metastasize, through the blood and lymph systems.
