See details: That would be unlikely unless it has metastasized to the brain or one has developed something called a paraneoplastic syndrome.

Yes: Some cancers can cause a paraneoplastic syndrome. Para meaning from and neoplastic meaning cancer. The cancers can rarely produce antibodies which can attack nerves leading to symptoms. Hope this helps.
