  1. First of all, calcination is a thermal process used to purify metals - it cannot occur in muscle; the biological tissue would just burn.  See this article for information on calcination: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcination

    I think you may mean calcification, in which calcium builds up in a tissue.  See this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcificati... or http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/...

    There are several diseases which may be involved.  

    While cancer does not cause calcification in the breast, calcification may be an indicator that cancer is present.  (http://www.cancerbackup.org.uk/Aboutcanc...

    Calcification can occur on the walls of blood vessels, and around heart valves, and can thus be involved in heart disease (http://yourtotalhealth.ivillage.com/calc...
