Prognostic Implications of Parathyroid Hormone-Related Protein in Males and Females With Non–Small-Cell Lung Cancer

Non-small-cell lung carcinoma immunoreactivity for parathyroid hormone-related protein has been associated with increased survival in female patients but not in male patients. The current investigation attempted to substantiate this finding in 2 new patient groups.Patients were divided into groups with and without immunoreactivity for a carboxyl-terminal parathyroid hormone-related protein epitope assessed in deparaffinized sections by a blinded...
