pineal calcifications, melatonin, vitamin DAbstract
The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between the vitamin D content, melatonin and the characteristics of pineal gland calcifications in patients with malignant tumors of the bones of the lower extremities. Vitamin D deficiency and pineal gland calcifications are observed in almost 100 % of patients with malignant tumors of the lower extremities’ bones. The high heterogeneity of calcifications and its dynamics during the treatment of patients may indicate the processes of their litholysis and dissolution.
