This paraneoplastic syndrome causes ACH to be secreted and may lead to excessive retention of water by the kidney's.
SIDAH
In patients with solid tumors who do not have metastasis, hypercalcemia is most often caused by:
PTHrP (Parathyroid hormone related polypeptide)
PTHrP is most often caused by which cancer:
Squamous cell carcinoma of the lungs.
Name the three effects of PTH:
1.Retention/mobilization of calcium
2.Excretion of phosphorus
3. hydroxylation of vitamin D in the kidney
This increases the absorption of calcium in the gut, promotes reabsorption in the kidneys, and promotes PTH reabsorption of bone:
Activated Vitamin D
Vitamin D related hypercalcemia, due to vitamin D inoxication can be caused by several granulomatous diseases such as:
Sarcoidosis, Tuberculosis, or fungal infections.
Name for condition with increased number of red blood cells:
Polycythemia
Condition associated with hepatocellular and renal cellular carcinomas as well as cerebellar hemangiomas
Polycythemia
50% of patients with Cushing's Syndrome have what?
Lung cell carcinoma
This condition is caused by excess ACTH
Cushing's Syndrome
Hypercalcemia is common in breast carcinoma patients who have _____
Bone Metastasis
This condition is readily seen on radiographs and often seen with pathologic fractures- what kind of cancer is it associated with?
Osteolytic Metastases
A mutation in this gene is associated with retinoblastoma, osteogenic sarcoma, and breast carcinoma:
Rb
This cell cycle and apoptotic regulator inhibits G1 to S phase, repairs DNA and activates BAX
p53
In cells with a deficiency of this tumor supressor gene DNA damage doesn't lead to cell cycle arrest, which may lead to lung, colon, breast carcinomas, LF syndrome, brain tumors, leukemia, and sarcoma:
p53
Loss of this tumor supressor gene is associated with familial polyposis (colorectal carcinoma)
APC
When this signal transduction inhibitor is lost or inactive, destruction of beta-catenin cannot occur, which leads to entry into the cell cycle:
APC
Malfunction of these DNA repair genes is associated with breast, ovary, and prostate carcinomas.
BRCA1 and 2
This paraneoplastic syndrome is associated with an increase in cortisol:
Cushing's Syndrome
These two paraneoplastic syndromes are associated with small cell lung cancer:
Cushing's and SIADH
This paraneoplastic syndrome is associated with increased EPO. What are the two associated cancers?
Polycythemia- renal cell and hepatocellular carcinoma
This paraneoplastic syndrome is associated with breast, lung, kidney ovary, and squamous cell carcinoma of the lung
Hypercalcemia
This gene is associated with multiple endocrine neoplasia 1 and 2
MEN1 and RET
These genes are associated with inherited risk for breast and ovarian cancers
BRCA 1 and 2
These genes are associated with neurofibromitosis 1 and 2
NF1 and NF2
