- Various paraneoplastic phenomena can arise in the setting of lung cancer:
-
- SIADH causing hyponatraemia: Small cell lung cancer
- ACTH secretion (Cushing syndrome): Carcinoid tumor and small cell lung cancer
- Parathyroid Hormone-Related Peptide (PTHrP) causing hypercalcaemia: Squamous cell carcinoma of the lung
