Paraneoplastic syndrome

Paraneoplastic syndrome is a syndrome caused by the presence of a tumor, but not associated with its direct effect on surrounding tissues and organs or with metastasis. This syndrome is caused by humoral factors secreted by tumor cells or the body's immunological response to the tumor.

Paraneoplastic syndromes can manifest with various symptoms depending on the type of tumor and the organs affected by humoral factors or immune responses. The most common manifestations include endocrine, neurological, skin and hematological disorders. Diagnosis of paraneoplastic syndrome is based on the detection of characteristic symptoms in a patient with a known or occult tumor. Treatment is primarily aimed at eliminating the root cause - the tumor itself. Symptomatic therapy and immunomodulatory treatment may also be prescribed.
