A member asked:
Why would my dr be ordering a paraneoplastic ab panel if he's not looking for cancer. he's doing a bunch of blood work for possible autonomic dysfu?

D/w your doctor: You should probably ask your doctor the reasons behind the order. Sometimes, the case are so complicated that possibilities of causes are in wide range and different testings are needed. Since i don't know exactly the case- pick up the phone and ask your doctor. Certain cancer sometimes is associated with different nonspecific symptoms in different body system-paraneoplastic lab is to check on it.
