Abstract

The paraneoplastic syndromes are effects of cancer that occur at sites remote from the primary tumor and its metastases. Recognition of these disorders is important from both diagnostic and therapeutic viewpoints. The important paraneoplastic syndromes involving the endocrine, nervous, hematologic, and dermatologic systems are discussed in this article.
