Overview

Paraneoplastic syndromes are a rare type of disease that is caused by abnormal immune systems resulting from cancerous cells. Paraneoplastic syndromes are disorders due to the release of hormones, or peptides that cause immune cross-reactivity between cancerous cells and normal tissues. Sometimes the symptoms of paraneoplastic syndromes show even before the diagnosis of a malignancy. There is no screening for paraneoplastic syndromes. The stage and type of diagnosis of cancer determine the prognosis of a paraneoplastic syndrome. The causes are mostly related to the organ affected. The paraneoplastic syndromes are divided into four main categories such as musculocutaneous, neurological, hematological and endocrines. They are no cures for the paraneoplastic syndrome, but cancer treatment and some medications to reduce autoimmune responses are helpful.

Classification

  • Paraneoplastic syndromes may be classified into 5 main categories accordingly:
Type of paraneoplastic syndrome Subtype Associated Cancers
Endocrine metabolic syndromes[1][2][3] Hypercalcemia breast cancer and lung cancer (typically squamous cell) due to the production of PTHrP (Parathyroid hormone-related protein)multiple myeloma, renal cell carcinoma, ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, and lymphoma
SIADH[4][5] small cell lung cancer, mesothelioma, breast, prostate, adrenal, urethral, thymoma, lymphoma, GI, CNS, and Ewing sarcoma
Ectopic ACTH secretion small-cell lung cancer, carcinoid tumor, thymoma and other cancers
Tumor induced osteomalacia
Hypoglycemia[6] GI cancers, mesothelioma, lung, and sarcomas
Musculocutaneous paraneoplastic syndromes [7] Dermatomyositis
Leser-Trélat sign gastrointestinal adenocarcinomas (gastric, colon, rectal), breast cancer, and lymphoproliferative disorders/lymphoma, and melanoma.
Acanthosis nigricans gastric adenocarcinoma, endometrial cancer, and etc.
Necrolytic migratory erythema
Sweet's syndrome
Pyoderma gangrenosum
Neurological paraneoplastic syndromes[8][9] Paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration
Encephalomyelitis
Limbic encephalitis
Brainstem encephalitis
Opsoclonus (involving eye movement)
Encephalitis[10] teratoma
Polymyositis
Autonomic neuropathy
Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) small-cell lung cancer
Myasthenia gravis
Subacute (peripheral) sensory neuropathy
Hematological paraneoplastic syndromes [11][12] Granulocytosis
Thrombocytosis
Pure red cell aplasia
Eosinophilia
Others Membranous glomerulonephritis

Causes

Common Causes

Causes by Organ System

  • Paraneoplastic syndromes causes may be regrouped by organ system.[13][14]
Dermatologic
Ear Nose Throat
Endocrine
Gastroenterologic
Hematologic
Musculoskeletal/Orthopedic
Neurologic
Obstetric/Gynecologic
Oncologic
Pulmonary
Renal/Electrolyte
Rheumatology/Immunology/Allergy
  • No underlying causes
Urologic
Miscellaneous

Differential diagnosis

Paraneoplastic syndromes must be differentiated from others types of cancer depending on the location and type of organs.
