Paraneoplastic Endocrine Syndromes: A Review

Endocrine Pathology, 2003
The paraneoplastic endocrine syndromes ("ectopic" or "inappropriate" hormone production) comprise a wide array of symptom complexes associated with malignant or less commonly benign neoplasms. Most of the syndromes are associated with the production of peptide hormones, which, in some instances, have autocrine stimulatory effects.

Paraneoplastic Endocrine Syndromes

2022
Abstract Hormone production from non-endocrine glands poses a diagnostic and management challenge. With improvements in hormone assay precision, and diagnostic imaging, the clinician is better equipped now to manage the patient. Here, we review the underlying biology of ectopic hormone production, and aberrant regulation.

Endocrine paraneoplastic syndromes in lung cancer

Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2003
Lung tumors are capable of synthesizing and secreting peptide proteins (hormones) that lead to a variety of endocrine paraneoplastic syndromes. Knowledge about the clinical manifestations, pathophysiology, and treatment of these syndromes has evolved over time. This article provides an up-to-date overview of this knowledge.

Przeglad lekarski, 2016
Among the most interesting manifestations of neoplasms is the production of functional peptides and hormones that may induce unique clinical syndromes. It has become obvious in the last decades that a wide range of endocrine tumors secrete hormones not normally associated with the tissue in which the neoplasm arises.

[Endocrine paraneoplastic syndromes].

Der Internist, 2019
Endocrine paraneoplastic syndromes result from the production of bioactive substances from neoplastic cells, of endocrine or neuroendocrine origin. Typically these are located in the lungs, the gastrointestinal tract, pancreas, thyroid gland, adrenal medulla, skin, prostate or breast.

[Paraneoplastic endocrine syndromes].

Gan to kagaku ryoho. Cancer & chemotherapy, 1986
In some instances, tumors can produce signs and symptoms at a distance from the tumor or its metastases. These are defined as paraneoplastic syndrome or humoral syndrome associated with neoplasms. Paraneoplastic syndromes can arise from circulating substances secreted by tumors.

[Paraneoplastic endocrine syndromes: diagnosis and management].

Revue medicale suisse, 2009
Paraneoplastic endocrine syndromes define a group of secondary signs and symptoms associated to a neoplasia, independently from the location of the primary tumor or its metastases. Paraneoplastic or ectopic endocrine syndromes usually result from aberrant hormone precursors or hormone-like substances by tumours.

[Paraneoplastic endocrine syndromes: clinical picture and laboratory diagnostics].

Magyar onkologia, 2023
The term paraneoplastic syndrome refers to the conditions when tumor-related symptoms are not caused by the size, invasion or metastasis of a tumor, but due to soluble mediators produced or an immune reaction induced by a tumor. Paraneoplastic syndromes occur in about 8% of all malignant tumors.

Praxis, 2019
CME: Paraneoplastic Endocrine Syndromes Abstract. Paraneoplastic endocrine syndromes are caused by ectopic hormone production by malignant tumor cells. Knowledge of paraneoplastic endocrine syndromes may allow a timely diagnosis of the underlying cancer at a treatable stage and, on the other hand, appropriate treatment of the endocrine manifestations ...

Endocrine Hyperfunctional Syndromes by Ectopic Hormone Formation (Paraneoplastic Syndromes)

1974
Ectopic formation of hormones means the production of most probably normal hormones by tumors of tissues which normally form no hormones or different hormones. These tumors are with few exceptions malignant.
