Paraneoplastic syndromes associated with bronchogenic carcinoma

Paraneoplastic syndromes associated with lung cancer are diverse in their presentation, pathophysiology, and implications. They can be seen as a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge or as an opportunity to detect an otherwise asymptomatic malignancy. Unraveling the mechanisms that produce these syndromes will lead to insight into tumor biology that will be translated into novel approaches for early detection and therapy.
