A member asked:
Does paraneoplastic phenomenon occur due to the invasion into the nerves by the tumour?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Paraneoplastic syndromes are related to effects of substances produced by tumors. Examples include a high calcium level, low sodium level, certain neurologic conditions, etc. Invasion of nerves by tumors are not paraneoplastic syndromes.
