NINDS: Paraneoplastic syndromes are a group of rare disorders that are triggered by an abnormal immune system response to a cancerous
tumor known as a "neoplasm." Paraneoplastic syndromes are thought to happen when cancer-fighting antibodies or white blood
cells (known as T cells) mistakenly attack normal cells in the nervous system. These disorders typically affect middle-aged
to older people and are most common in individuals with lung, ovarian, lymphatic, or breast cancer. Neurologic symptoms generally
develop over a period of days to weeks and usually occur prior to the tumor being discovered. These symptoms may include difficulty
in walking or swallowing, loss of muscle tone, loss of fine motor coordination, slurred speech, memory loss, vision problems,
sleep disturbances, dementia, seizures, sensory loss in the limbs, and vertigo or dizziness. Paraneoplastic syndromes include
Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome, stiff-person syndrome, encephalomyelitis, myasthenia gravis, cerebellar degeneration, limbic
or brainstem encephalitis, neuromyotonia, opsoclonus, and sensory neuropathy.31
MalaCards: Paraneoplastic Syndromes is related to myelitis and lambert-eaton myasthenic syndrome. An important gene associated with Paraneoplastic Syndromes is PNMA1 (paraneoplastic Ma antigen 1), and among its related pathways are 14-3-3 Induced Intracellular Signaling and Glioma Invasiveness. The compounds phosphorus and cyclophosphamide have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include lung, ovary and colon, and related mouse phenotypes are respiratory system and reproductive system.
