Parathyroid hormone‐related protein varies with sex and androgen status in nonsmall cell lung cancer

In nonsmall cell lung cancer, tumor parathyroid hormone‐related protein (PTHrP) expression predicts longer survival in women but not in men. To explain the sex‐dependent survival effect, the authors proposed that hormonal influences decrease PTHrP in men versus women, that PTHrP inhibits tumor growth, and that the effect is greater in women than in men. The objectives of this study were to compare lung carcinoma PTHrP expression and carcinoma growth in male and female mice and to determine whether gonadal steroids regulate PTHrP in lung cancer cells.
