Definition

Paraneoplastic Neurological Syndromes (PNS) are rare disorders associated with cancer, not caused by direct invasion, metastasis or consequences of treatment. They are usually autoimmune in nature. Often, PNS precedes the manifestations of cancer. Onconeural antibodies are important in the diagnosis and management of these disorders. These antibodies are specific for malignancy rather than for a particular neurological syndrome. Often, there are different antibodies associated with the same syndrome. Multiple antibodies are also known to coexist in a given patient with malignancy. While investigating a patient for suspected PNS, the entire gamut of onconeural antibodies should be investigated so as not to miss the diagnosis.

Paraneoplastic neurological syndromes (PNS) are rare but are potentially treatable. These disorders are associated with cancer but are not caused by the direct tumor invasion, metastasis, or consequences of treatment.[] They can affect any area of the nervous system, including the central, peripheral, and autonomic nervous systems. Although the system involvement is often multifocal, like encephalomyelitis, it can involve a single system, e.g. cerebellar degeneration. Mainly, the PNS precedes or follows the cancer diagnosis, although, in some cases, the primary cancer is not found even at autopsy.[]

The first description of PNS was in the 19th century by a French physician M Auche’ who described the peripheral nervous system involvement in cancer patients in 1890.[] The first antibody described was PCA-1 (Purkinje Cell Antibody 1), by Greenlee and Brashear in 1983, in two patients with ovarian carcinoma and paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration.[] More syndromes and antibodies have been subsequently described and the list of the syndromes and antibodies continue to increase day by day.

Types of Paraneoplastic Neurologic Syndromes

Some of the common paraneoplastic syndromes that develop include:

  • Limbic encephalitis – amnesia, disorientation, psychosis (including hallucinations and paranoia), confusion, depression & anxiety. Patients may also develop seizures. The most common cancers to trigger limbic encephalitis are small-cell lung cancer (SCLC),  germ cell tumors of the testis, breast cancer, Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and teratoma.
  • Subacute sensory pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness. সহজ বাংলা: স্নায়ুর ক্ষতি/সমস্যা।" data-rx-term="neuropathy" data-rx-definition="Neuropathy means nerve damage or irritation causing pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness. সহজ বাংলা: স্নায়ুর ক্ষতি/সমস্যা।">neuropathy – upper limb pain or paraesthesia (tingling), sensory loss, sensory ataxia, and absence of reflexes. At a later stage, the numbness, tingling, or weakness. সহজ বাংলা: স্নায়ুর ক্ষতি/সমস্যা।" data-rx-term="neuropathy" data-rx-definition="Neuropathy means nerve damage or irritation causing pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness. সহজ বাংলা: স্নায়ুর ক্ষতি/সমস্যা।">neuropathy may also spread to the face, chest, and abdomen. Most cases of subacute sensory neuropathy occur due to SCLC, but also breast & ovarian cancers, sarcoma, or Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
  • Cerebellar degeneration – severe truncal and limb ataxia, dysarthria (problem articulation of speech), nystagmus (involuntary eye movement), vertigo, and diplopia (double vision). Onset can be as rapid as a few hours to a few days and leads to the patient becoming bed-bound. Cerebellar degeneration occurs in association with ovarian cancer, breast cancer, Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and SCLC.
  • Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome – similar to myasthenia gravis but less severe; muscle weakness within the legs, before spreading upwards towards the top of the body, ptosis (falling of upper eyelid), ophthalmoplegia (eye muscle paralysis), dry mouth, dry eyes, impotence, constipation, and excessive sweating. Most commonly associated with SCLC.
  • Peripheral nerve hyperexcitability syndrome – the most common paraneoplastic neurologic syndrome associated with thymoma, SCLC, Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and other cancers. It is characterized by twitching and cramping of muscles, muscle stiffness, muscle weakness, in addition to excessive sweating (sensory nerve-related). Other CNS features can include psychosis and autonomic disturbances (e.g. Morvan’s syndrome.

Pathophysiology

PNS is mainly autoimmune.[] When the body tries to eliminate tumor cells, it launches an immune response, and this response can target normal neural tissues.[] This could be mediated by antibodies or by T-cells. Thus, most of the PNS reflects a nervous system-specific autoimmune attack initiated by onconeural antigens released to the peripheral lymphoid tissue from an unsuspected primary or recurrent neoplasm.[] Frequently, a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) study in these patients reveals lymphocytic pleocytosis, elevated protein, increased IgG synthesis, and oligoclonal bands, supporting the immunological pathology. In a recent European study, abnormal CSF was found in 93% of the cases; pleocytosis in 39%, elevated protein in 67%, and oligoclonal bands (OCB) in 63%. OCBs were the only abnormality in 10%.[] Antibodies targeted against an accessible membrane target is directly responsible for the disease, as in the case of acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibodies in myasthenia gravis, P/Q type of voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCC) in Lambert Eaton Myasthenic syndrome (LEMS), and encephalitis associated with anti-NMDA receptor antibodies. It has been documented that tumor outcome is better among patients with paraneoplastic syndromes.[] Often, the cancer is asymptomatic at the time of presentation with the neurological syndrome. Some of the paraneoplastic antibodies are specifically associated with cancer and some are not.

Causes of Paraneoplastic Neurologic Syndromes

Paraneoplastic neurologic syndromes are thought to be caused by an autoimmune attack by the body on cancer cells, rather than the cancer itself.

The attack can target healthy neural tissue, leading to the multitude of syndromes described above.

Within the blood (and CSF), there may be elevations in specific antibodies which can aid in the diagnosis of a paraneoplastic neurologic syndrome:

  • Limbic encephalitis – Hu, CV2, AMPAR, VGKC, Ma2
  • Subacute sensory pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness. সহজ বাংলা: স্নায়ুর ক্ষতি/সমস্যা।" data-rx-term="neuropathy" data-rx-definition="Neuropathy means nerve damage or irritation causing pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness. সহজ বাংলা: স্নায়ুর ক্ষতি/সমস্যা।">neuropathy – Hu, VC2
  • Cerebellar degeneration – Hu, Yo, Tr
  • Peripheral nerve hyperexcitability – VGKC

The multitude of different antibodies being generated can cause differing syndromes, with many overlaps. Specific antibodies are related to specific forms of these conditions, in particular groups of people, with a particular cancer.

Symptoms of Paraneoplastic Neurological Syndromes

PNS can affect any region of the nervous system. PNS can present with multiple clinical manifestations like encephalitis, autonomic failure, peripheral pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness. সহজ বাংলা: স্নায়ুর ক্ষতি/সমস্যা।" data-rx-term="neuropathy" data-rx-definition="Neuropathy means nerve damage or irritation causing pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness. সহজ বাংলা: স্নায়ুর ক্ষতি/সমস্যা।">neuropathy, cerebellar ataxia, visual complaints and many others. There can be multiple antibodies in a patient.[] Gives the common classical paraneoplastic syndromes with clinical features and investigations.[] Based on the evidence accumulated over the last two decades, recognition of a classical neurologic syndrome associated with single antibody is an exception rather than a rule.[] Usually, the onset is subacute. In approximately 60% of the cases, PNS precedes tumor.[]

Signs and symptoms vary depending on the body part being injured, and may include:

  • Difficulty walking
  • Difficulty maintaining balance
  • Loss of muscle coordination
  • Loss of muscle tone or weakness
  • Loss of fine motor skills, such as picking up objects
  • Difficulty swallowing
  • Slurred speech or stuttering
  • Memory loss and other thinking (cognitive) impairment
  • Vision problems
  • Sleep disturbances
  • Seizures
  • Hallucinations
  • Unusual involuntary movements

Diagnosis of Paraneoplastic Neurological Syndromes

Early diagnosis and treatment is important because any delay can result in rapid progression and irreversible neurological damage. Diagnosing PNS is often difficult. One of the reasons for the difficulty in diagnosis is the presentation of the PNS before the malignancy becomes clinically overt. Other reasons are the absence of a particular clinical pattern and absence of imaging and laboratory abnormalities that are specific for PNS. Biopsies are invasive, difficult, and nonspecific. A combination of clinical and laboratory evaluations has to be deployed to reach diagnosis early. Treatment of underlying cancer is important in the treatment of neurological conditions. A high index of clinical suspicion is essential to achieve this goal. A past or family history of cancer is important in this regard. The presence of systemic symptoms like anorexia, weight loss, fever, fatigue and dysgeusia are all important nonneurological clues. CSF often exhibit nonspecific abnormalities such as mild to moderate lymphocytic pleocytosis, elevated protein, and OCBs

Clinical exam

Your doctor or a neurologist will conduct a general physical, as well as a neurological exam. He or she will ask you questions and conduct simple tests in the office to judge:

  • Reflexes
  • Muscle strength
  • Muscle tone
  • Sense of touch
  • Vision and hearing
  • Coordination
  • Balance
  • Mood
  • Memory

A patient should be evaluated with a complete panel of laboratory, imaging, electrodiagnostic studies and biopsy of specific tissues if required.

  • Complete blood count with differential
  • Comprehensive metabolic panel
  • Urinalysis
  • Tumor markers
  • Ectopic hormones level like PTHrP, ACTH, ADH
  • Cerebrospinal fluid analysis (CSF)
  • Protein electrophoresis o serum and CSF
  • Assay of paraneoplastic antibodies in blood and CSF
  • Skin biopsy
  • Muscle biopsy

Laboratory tests

Laboratory tests will likely include:

  • Blood tests – You may have blood drawn for a number of laboratory tests, including tests to identify antibodies commonly associated with paraneoplastic syndromes. Other tests may attempt to identify an infection, a hormone disorder or a disorder in processing nutrients (metabolic disorder) that could be causing your symptoms.
  • Spinal tap (lumbar puncture) – You may undergo a lumbar puncture to obtain a sample of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) — the fluid that cushions your brain and spinal cord. A neurologist or specially trained nurse inserts a needle into your lower spine to remove a small amount of CSF for laboratory analysis.
  • Computerized tomography (CT) – is a specialized X-ray technology that produces thin, cross-sectional images of tissues.
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) – uses a magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed cross-sectional or 3D images of your body’s tissue.
  • Positron emission tomography (PET) – uses radioactive compounds injected into your bloodstream to produce cross-sectional or 3D images of the body. PET scans can be used to identify tumors, measure metabolism in tissues, show blood flow and locate brain abnormalities related to seizures.
  • PET plus CT – a combination of PET and CT, may increase the detection rate of small cancers, common in people who have paraneoplastic neurological disorders.

Treatment of Paraneoplastic Neurological Syndromes

Treatment of PNS includes treatment of the tumor, immunotherapy, and supportive therapy. The best way to stabilize PNS is to treat cancer as soon as possible. This includes surgical removal of tumor, chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy. There are no evidence-based recommendations available regarding immunosuppressive therapy.

Immunotherapy includes steroids, intravenous immune globulins (IV IgG), plasma exchange, cyclophosphamide, azathioprine, and rituximab. Those PNS mediated by antibody are more reversible; for example, PNS mediated by VGKC complex antibodies, AChR antibodies, and NMDA receptor antibodies. In disorders with intracellular target antigens and a strong cellular immune reaction, the damage is more severe and often irreversible. The common approach used in the autoimmune neurology clinic of Mayo Clinic is high-dose intravenous methylprednisolone therapy. One gram of methylprednisolone is administered intravenously for 5 days followed by weekly therapy of the same dose for 6–12 weeks. If there is a response to trial therapy, medications like mycophenolate mofetil or azathioprine can be considered for long-term immunosuppression. On the other hand, if there is no response, plasma exchange should be the next line in antibody-mediated disease. Other options include immunosuppression with cyclophosphamide. Rituximab may be useful in antibody-mediated diseases. The patient may need long-term treatment. For an individual patient, the duration of treatment is usually determined by clinical response.

In anti-NMDAR encephalitis, Dalmau[] has proposed a combined treatment as first-line -intravenous methylprednisolone with IVIgG or plasma exchange. If there is a good response to this, chronic immunosuppression with azathioprine or mycophenolate is recommended for 1 year. If there is no response, rituximab or cyclophosphamide, or both combined, should be given. If there is no response for the combined therapy of rituximab and cyclophosphamide, an alternate immunosuppressive like oral or intravenous methotrexate should be considered.

Supportive therapy includes symptomatic treatment like analgesics, antiepileptics, psychiatric medications, dysautonomia medications, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and speech and swallowing therapy. Respiratory support and nutritional support are important. 3, 4 aminopyridines is used for symptomatic treatment of LEMS. Anticholinesterase inhibitors are used in the treatment of myasthenia gravis. Diazepam is used in Stiff Person Syndrome. Clonazepam and sodium valproate are administered in opsoclonus myoclonus.
