Paraneoplastic autoimmune hypophysitis: a novel form of paraneoplastic endocrine syndrome
Paraneoplastic syndromes are defined by symptoms or signs resulting from damage to organs or tissues that are remote from the site of malignant neoplasms or its metastasis. They are due to tumor secretion of functional hormones or peptides or are related to immune cross-reactivity with the host tissue.

Cardiac endocrine function is an essential component of the homeostatic regulation network: physiological and clinical implications [PDF]
The discovery of cardiac natriuretic hormones required a profound revision of the concept of heart function. The heart should no longer be considered only as a pump, but rather as a multi-functional and interactive organ, part of a complex network and ...

Endocrine Paraneoplastic Syndromes: A Review [PDF]
Paraneoplastic endocrine syndromes result from ectopic production of hormones by different tumors. Hypercalcemia of malignancy is the most common, mostly caused by ectopic parathyroid hormone related peptide (PTHrP) production which increases bone resorption. Other causes include the rare ectopic parathyroid hormone (PTH) production, ectopic production
