Paraneoplastic Syndromes Test Package at Affordable Price

Paraneoplastic syndromes are a group of rare disorders that occur in association with cancer and are caused by the immune system's response to cancer cells. These syndromes are not directly caused by the local effects of the tumor or its metastases, but rather by the effects of tumor cells on the immune system or other distant parts of the body.

Paraneoplastic syndromes are rare and can occur in various types of cancer, including lung cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and others. They can develop before the cancer is detected, at the same time as the cancer diagnosis, or even after cancer has been treated or resolved.

Paraneoplastic syndromes can cause a wide range of symptoms, depending on the specific syndrome and the affected organ or system. Common symptoms may include unexplained weight loss, fever, fatigue, muscle weakness or pain, joint pain, skin rash, changes in blood electrolyte levels, neurological symptoms (such as difficulty speaking or coordinating movements, vision changes, or memory problems), and endocrine-related symptoms (such as changes in hormone levels leading to hormonal imbalances).

Diagnosis of paraneoplastic syndromes can be challenging due to their rarity and diverse manifestations. It typically involves a thorough medical history, physical examination, blood tests to measure levels of specific antibodies or other markers, imaging studies (such as CT scans or MRI) to evaluate the extent of cancer, and sometimes biopsies or other specialized tests to confirm the presence of cancer or identify specific paraneoplastic syndromes.
