Initial screening for neuronal autoantibodies and their putative impact on survival in patients with small‐cell lung cancer

open access: yesThoracic Cancer, Volume 15, Issue 17, Page 1350-1356, June 2024.
In a retrospective study, serum from patients with biopsy‐proven small‐cell lung cancer (SCLC) at the time of diagnosis was studied prior to treatment. The sera were analyzed for the presence of neuronal autoantibodies blinded to clinical status. The main finding was demonstration that neuronal autoantibodies were frequent at the time of diagnosis ...

Patient perspectives on Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome

open access: yes
To better understand what it\u27s like to live with Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS), we spoke to two individuals who have been living with non-tumor LEMS for years.

Type 2 fiber predominance in Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome.

open access: yes, 1991
Serial muscle biopsies in a noncarcinomatous case of Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) have shown progressive atrophy and loss of type 1 fibers, resulting in overwhelming type 2 predominance. A similar abnormality was found in a single biopsy from

Relapse of both small cell lung cancer and Lambert–Eaton myasthenic syndrome after a 13-year disease-free survival period

open access: yesChinese Journal of Cancer, 2016
Lambert–Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) is a paraneoplastic syndrome and only 3% of small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) patients have LEMS. Moreover, the recurrence of SCLC after a disease-free survival (DFS) of more than 10 years is rare.

Transient Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome associated with systemic lupus erythematosus [PDF]

open access: yes, 1989
We present a patient who developed the Lambert–Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) in association with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Severe proximal weakness with electrodiagnostic evidence of LEMS developed over 2 days during an exacerbation of ...

Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome associated with intravascular uterine leiomyoma.

open access: yes, 2011
Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) is an autoimmune neurologic disease with impaired transmission across neuromuscular junction, and . LEMS is thought to be caused by antibodies directed against presynaptic P/Q-type voltage-gated calcium channels ...

Diagnosis and treatment of paraneoplastic neurological disorders [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
In about two thirds of cases, patients with paraneoplastic neurological disorders present to the neurologist without a known tumor. Due to the ongoing immune response, this tumor tends to stay biologically relatively benign, and therefore difficult to ...

Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome – a misdiagnosed condition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Background: Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) is a rare disorder of the neuromuscular junction. Clinical features include proximal muscle weakness, markedly in the lower limbs, reduced deep tendon reflexes that can increase after exercise, and ...
