However, there are conflicting data regarding its role(s) in breast cancer biology. This study aimed to clarify PTHrP\u2019s potential function(s) in breast cancer by systematically examining its association with tumor characteristics, patient outcomes and hypercalcemia in women. We designed a predetermined strategy based on PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Seven databases were interrogated to identify studies of women with breast cancer reporting associations between tumor or circulating PTHrP levels and prognostic factors, calcium levels, relapse and survival. The ROBINS-E tool was used to examine the risk of bias. Quantitative syntheses of outcomes were performed by drawing forest plots of individual studies and pooling estimates. Forty-five studies met our eligibility criteria. We found that PTHrP is likely associated with positive progesterone receptor status, the presence of microcalcifications and lymph node invasion, but not with tumor type or grade. Most studies interrogating the association between PTHrP expression and breast cancer prognosis or hypercalcemia were at a very high risk of bias. Despite this, our results suggest associations between PTHrP and patient survival, the presence of bone metastases and the diagnosis of hypercalcemia of malignancy. These meta-analyses underscore the need for robust multivariate analyses in women to rigorously re-evaluate the role of PTHrP in breast cancer. This is important since the gene coding for PTHrP (PTHLH) has been consistently identified as a breast cancer susceptibility locus.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1530\/erc-25-0324","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,17]],"date-time":"2026-02-17T11:44:23Z","timestamp":1771328663000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1530\/crossmarkpolicy-8","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Clinical and prognostic significance of parathyroid hormone-related protein in breast cancer: a systematic review and meta-analyses of observational studies in women"],"prefix":"10.1530","volume":"33","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9382-3767","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Alisson","family":"Clemenceau","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Juliette","family":"Bherer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2"},{"name":"3"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alyssa","family":"Grimshaw","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"4"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Francine","family":"Durocher","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2"},{"name":"3"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Caroline","family":"Diorio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2"},{"name":"5"},{"name":"6"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"John J","family":"Wysolmerski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"416","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026070909461287600_bib1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"5048","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.84.14.5048","article-title":"Parathyroid hormone-related protein purified from a human lung cancer cell line","volume":"84","author":"Moseley","year":"1987","journal-title":"Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A"},{"key":"2026070909461287600_bib2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"7151","DOI":"10.1016\/S0021-9258(18)48217-8","article-title":"Identification of a novel 17,000-dalton parathyroid hormone-like adenylate cyclase-stimulating protein from a tumor associated with humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy","volume":"262","author":"Burtis","year":"1987","journal-title":"J Biol Chem"},{"key":"2026070909461287600_bib3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"893","DOI":"10.1126\/science.3616618","article-title":"A parathyroid hormone-related protein implicated in malignant hypercalcemia: cloning and expression","volume":"237","author":"Suva","year":"1987","journal-title":"Science"},{"key":"2026070909461287600_bib4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"672","DOI":"10.1016\/0006-291X(87)90581-X","article-title":"N-Terminal amino acid sequence of two novel tumor-derived adenylate cyclase-stimulating proteins: identification of parathyroid hormone-like and parathyroid hormone-unlike domains","volume":"146","author":"Stewart","year":"1987","journal-title":"Biochem Biophys Res Commun"},{"key":"2026070909461287600_bib5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1803","DOI":"10.1172\/JCI113275","article-title":"Parathyroid hormonelike protein from human renal carcinoma cells.
