Paraneoplastic neurologic syndromes
Paraneoplastic neurologic syndromes (PNS) are remote, nonmetastatic complications of systemic cancer. Clinically they are characterized by subacute, progressive neurologic deficits that usually result in profound disability and eventually death. PNS may be present as long as 2 to 4 years before diagnosis of the associated tumor, but it can develop ...

Neurological paraneoplastic syndromes. [PDF]
Paraneoplastic neurological syndromes are uncommon, however, their diagnosis is of major practical importance. The identification of antibodies in the serum or cerebrospinal fluid in central nervous system paraneoplastic syndromes confirms the clinical diagnosis of a paraneoplastic syndrome and allows early identification of an underlying tumour at a ...

Paraneoplastic antigens as biomarkers for early diagnosis of ovarian cancer
Paraneoplastic syndromes are a group of rare disorders that can be triggered by an abnormal immune response to proteins from tumors of the lung, ovary, lymphatics, or breast. Paraneoplastic clinical syndromes affect

Paraneoplastic Neurologic Syndromes.
Paraneoplastic neurologic syndromes are degenerative diseases of the central or peripheral nervous system that develop in association with a systemic neoplasm without a direct invasion by tumor. The pathogenesis of this disorder has been hypothesized in the past, and now there is increasing evidence that autoimmune processes triggered by the underlying
