title: [Neurological manifestations in patients with cancer: more than 17,000 reasons for consultation].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in our population; neurologic manifestations are frequent and are associated with higher rates of morbidity and mortality.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  To describe the neurological manifestations in patients with cancer.
  
  
  METHODS
  From January 2010 to December 2014 a database was created from patients with cancer, required a neuro-oncological assessment at a referral cancer center.
  
  
  RESULTS
  17,092 reasons for neuro-oncological consultation are described. Neoplasms most frequently associated with neurological manifestations were: breast cancer, hematologic malignancies, primary central nervous system tumors, lung cancer and gynecological malignancies. The most frequent neurological manifestations were: neuromuscular disease (including neuropathy), central nervous system metastasis, primary headaches, seizures, stroke and primary neurological tumors.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  It is important that neurologists, physicians and those involved in the management of patients with cancer recognize and get to know the neurological complications.
