Abstract：Objective:To explore the clinical value of serum calcium ion detection in malignant tumor.Method:The general healthy patients were as the control group,and the other a biopsy diagnosed cancer patients 103 cases were as test group,serum calcium levels were measured.Result:The control group was (1.208±0.058)mmol/L.Hepatocellular carcinoma group was (1.370±0.197)mmol/L,the positive rate was 77.7%.Lung cancer group was (1.320±0.119)mmol/L, the positive rate was 55.5%.Esophagus cancer group was (1.390±0.072)mmol/L,the positive rate of 93.7%.Gastric cancer group was (1.410±0.115)mmol/L,the positive rate was 81.8%.Colorectal cancer group was (1.370±0.095)mmol/L,the positive rate was 71.4%.Other tumor was (1.400±0.096)mmol/L,the positive rate was 76.9%,the cancer patient serum calcium ion group than that in control group,the control group and tumor group had significant difference(P<0.01). Conclusion:Calcium determination can be used as a screening test for malignant tumor,especially when the etiology of hypercalcemia when it is difficult to determine,must consider the presence of malignant tumors.
