Nervous system paraneoplastic syndrome

Paraneoplastic syndromes (PNS) occur in patients with certain malignant tumors. Without tumor metastasis, they have produced distant autologous organs and caused dysfunction. The affected remote organs, such as in the nervous system, are also called neurologic paraneoplastic syndrome. It is not a group of symptoms caused by tumors directly invading the tissue or organ, but the remote effects of systemic cancers, such as lung cancer, ovarian cancer, and so on. It can appear as gray matter inflammation of the central nervous system And distant effects of neurodegeneration. The clinical manifestations of the damage caused by the paraneoplastic syndrome are earlier and more severe than the tumor itself.
