Rare and changeable as a chameleon: paraneoplastic syndromes in renal cell carcinoma
2018
Introduction
Paraneoplastic syndromes (PNS) in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) are important to be recognized by the treating physician, because they may lead to diagnosis of underlying malignant disease. On the other hand, PNS may dominate the clinical picture and can hide the true disorder like a chameleon. When realized, a PNS can be used as a ‘neoplastic tumour marker’, especially in case of recurrence. Their occurrence can even be linked to prognosis of disease.
