Is a blood test to diagnose paraneoplastic syndrome experimental?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Maybe: Some defined antibodies are associated with paraneoplastic syndromes (note: plural). In those cases the testing may be positive. However, a person could have a paraneoplastic syndrome with negative testing for the known paraneoplastic antibodies. It is possible that studies are being done to characterize tests for paraneoplastic syndromes. That might be experimental.

No: Tests for the various autoantibodies such as anti-Hu are well-established.
