Hospital Practice, 1987
As the lengthy but nonetheless incomplete review suggests, paraneoplastic syndromes are protean in their manifestations and, for the most part, poorly understood. Indeed, some of the more common abnormalities in cancer patients that might be considered paraneoplastic--such as anorexia-cachexia syndrome or unexplained fever--have not been discussed ...

Medical Clinics of North America, 1996
The paraneoplastic syndromes are effects of cancer that occur at sites remote from the primary tumor and its metastases. Recognition of these disorders is important from both diagnostic and therapeutic viewpoints. The important paraneoplastic syndromes involving the endocrine, nervous, hematologic, and dermatologic systems are discussed in this article.

Cutaneous paraneoplastic syndromes
Seminars in Diagnostic Pathology, 2019A variety of cutaneous abnormalities can be seen in patients with malignant diseases, some of which are infectious, with others representing direct involvement of the skin by the underlying disorder. Yet another group of lesions can be regarded as associated markers of the malignant process, and, as such, are termed "paraneoplastic." This review ...

Paraneoplastic neurologic syndromes
Neurologic Clinics, 2003Cancer can affect the nervous system through many metastatic and nonmetastatic mechanisms, including side effects of cancer treatment, infections, coagulopathy, and metabolic or nutritional deficits. Paraneoplastic neurologic disorders (PND) are an extensive group of syndromes that cannot be explained by any of these complications and may affect any ...

Cutaneous Paraneoplastic Syndromes
Archives of Dermatology, 1986Much has been written about what constitutes a paraneoplastic syndrome, but considerable confusion remains. The term paraneoplastic partially derives from the Greek word para , which, among other things, means "by the side of," denoting a closeness of position, a spatial or temporal association.

Paraneoplastic rheumatologic syndromes
Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 2013To describe rheumatic syndromes that can be a paraneoplastic manifestation of an underlying malignancy. The pathogenesis of paraneoplastic rheumatologic diseases is complex and not fully understood in the majority of instances. In the absence of a defined pathogenic link between the malignancy and the rheumatic syndrome, the association between these ...

Paraneoplastic neurological syndromes
Seminars in Diagnostic Pathology, 2019Paraneoplastic neurological syndromes (PNS) constitute a heterogeneous group of cancer-related disorders that can affect any level of the central and peripheral nervous system. There is compelling evidence that PNS are caused by an immune response directed against neural antigens that are abnormally expressed by the tumour.

PARANEOPLASTIC NEUROMUSCULAR SYNDROMES
Neurologic Clinics, 1997Although paraneoplastic syndromes are rare, a number of well- defined, neuromuscular paraneoplastic syndromes have been described and their pathophysiology listed. Many different malignancies have been associated with these syndromes, but small-cell lung cancer is the most common.

Paraneoplastic Neurologic Syndromes
Neurologic Clinics, 2008Paraneoplastic neurologic syndromes (PNS) are mostly immune-mediated disorders that occur in patients with cancer. Because the same neurologic syndromes may occur without a cancer association it is important to know the likelihood of PNS, which is based in part on the syndrome and the patient's demographics and risk factors for cancer.

Paraneoplastic rheumatic syndromes
Best Practice & Research Clinical Rheumatology, 2000Malignant neoplasms are associated with a wide variety of paraneoplastic rheumatological syndromes. Among these, hypertrophic osteoarthropathy, carcinoma polyarthritis, dermatomyositis/polymyositis, and paraneoplastic vasculitis are the most frequently recognized.
