1 Metastatic tumor cells release factors—PTHrP, prostaglandin E, growth factors, and cytokines—that directly stimulate osteoclast activity1,2

2 Osteoclastic activity releases growth factors (ie, TGF-β) that stimulate tumor-cell growth, perpetuating a vicious cycle of bone resorption2

3 Bone resorption releases calcium from the skeleton, increasing the flow of calcium through the extracellular space, resulting in elevated serum calcium1
