Why is it important?
It is demonstrated that serum ionised calcium may be an indicator of pulmonary embolism in patients with primary lung cancer.

It may contribute to some clinical implication helping clinicians to pay attention to the probability of pulmonary embolism patients with primary lung cancer have a high serum ionised calcium.
