چکیده
We believe that hypercalcaemia after tamoxifen may signify tumour response and be a reason for continuing with tamoxifen and treating the hypercalcaemia. This is supported by a report of tamoxifen "flare" in metastatic breast cancer and the observation that acute exacerbation of bone pain in patients with breast cancer after tamoxifen may be associated with tumour response.'5 The mechanism of tamoxifeninduced tumour response needs further investigation, since acute hypercalcaemia is not seen in patients responding to chemotherapy or oophorectomy.
