Paraneoplastic rheumatic syndromes

Abstract: Paraneoplastic symptoms caused by a malignancy but not directly related to tumour invasion are the result of a wide variety of tumour-derived biologic mediators, such as hormones, peptides, antibodies, cytotoxic lymphocytes, autocrine and paracrine mediators. Recognition of paraneoplastic syndromes is important, as it may lead to an early diagnosis of cancer. On the other hand, the clinical severity of the symptoms can be used as a guide to the extent of response to underlying tumour therapy. The quality of li… Show more

“…RA, SLE and SS, has been reported previously. Increased occurrences of malignancies in patients with established RA have been published in several studies [27,28], with RA patients showing a fivefold increase in development of lymphomas [24]. Additionally a group of cancers known as the paraneoplastic syndromes have been reported in which patients exhibit clinical manifestations of RA and other rheumatic diseases, months and years prior to development of occult cancers [29].…”

“…[5] Carcinomatous polyarthritis has been associated with breast, lung, colon, ovarian, gastric, and oropharynx cancer as well as esophageal tumors and lymphoproliferative diseases. [2,6,7] Usually the symptoms appear eight to 12 months before the development of tumor disease. [2] It differs from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) due to the initiation at advanced age, acute onset, predominantly asymmetrical lower extremity involvement, and sparing of wrist and hand joints.…”
