摘要
Despite being approved by the Food and Drug Administration for over 30 years, calcitonin salmon has seen a dramatic increase in acquisition cost over the last few years. Being commonly used for the treatment of hypercalcemia of malignancy, health systems must implement stewardship strategies in order to curtail usage. This review is intended to provide a background on calcitonin usage for hypercalcemia of malignancy and associated strategies to ensure appropriateness of utilization within health systems.
