Question

question 31 (mandatory) (2 points) listen paraneoplastic syndrome associated with squamous cell carcinoma of the lung presents most commonly with which of the following clinical features? increased growth hormone increased adh excess acth - induced cortisol hypercalcemia associated with secretion of a pth - like protein

Explanation:

Squamous cell carcinoma of the lung often secretes a parathyroid hormone - like (PTH - like) protein. This protein can mimic the action of parathyroid hormone, leading to increased calcium levels in the blood (hypercalcemia). Increased growth hormone is not a typical paraneoplastic feature of lung squamous cell carcinoma. Increased ADH (antidiuretic hormone) is more associated with small - cell lung cancer. Excess ACTH - induced cortisol is also more commonly seen in small - cell lung cancer - related paraneoplastic syndromes.

Answer:

hypercalcemia associated with secretion of a PTH - like protein
