Paraneoplastic Neurological Disorders: A Comprehensive Guide

Authored by renowned experts Bruno Giometto and Sean J. Pittock, Paraneoplastic Neurological Disorders, Volume 200 is a groundbreaking publication that delves into the latest developments in the field of paraneoplastic disorders.

New Insights into Autoantibodies and Immuno-Oncological Drugs

This book covers recent descriptions of autoantibodies against neuronal cell surface antigens, which are only partly associated with paraneoplastic disorders. Furthermore, it explores the introduction of new immuno-oncological drugs that can contribute to diseases that are pathogenetically indistinguishable from paraneoplastic syndromes.

Unraveling the Pathogenetic Mechanisms of Paraneoplastic Disorders

The authors investigate the pathogenetic mechanisms of these disorders, shedding light on what the introduction of new drugs used in immune checkpoint inhibitor cancer therapy can teach us about immunopathogenesis.

A Comprehensive Review of Paraneoplastic Syndromes

The book presents individual syndromes (phenotypical clinical manifestations) of the central nervous system (CNS), peripheral nervous system (PNS), neuromuscular junction (NMJ), and muscle. This comprehensive review provides a deeper understanding of the complexities of paraneoplastic disorders.

The Role of Antibody Markers in Paraneoplastic Disorders

The authors also explore the role of antibody markers that differentiate by cytoplasmic, nuclear, and neuronal cell surface reactivities. This information is crucial for understanding the complexities of paraneoplastic disorders and developing effective diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

Profiles of Paraneoplastic Diseases by Tumor Type

This book provides an in-depth analysis of paraneoplastic diseases by tumor type, including epidemiological data and pathogenetic mechanisms. This information is essential for clinicians, researchers, and students seeking to understand the complexities of paraneoplastic disorders.

Therapeutic Strategies and Clinical Approach to PNS Patients

The authors discuss therapeutic strategies and clinical approaches to PNS patients, providing valuable insights for clinicians seeking to improve patient outcomes.
