title: Cancer related syndromes from a comparative viewpoint.
abstract: Neoplasms are the most prominent portion of the neoplastic disease process. The cancer patient is affected by hormonal, metabolic, immunologic and paraneoplastic discrepancies. Paraneoplastic syndromes consist a large group of body abnormalities which appear in a specific manner. Why special components of such abnormalities occur together is nearly always unknown. This article gives a tabulation of the paraneoplastic and other neoplasia-related syndromes providing certain key characteristics in each case.
