Summary
Paraneoplastic neurological syndromes (PNS) are rare autoimmune disorders triggered by cancer. Early diagnosis and treatment, including tumor removal, are crucial for preventing irreversible neurological damage and improving patient outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Oncology
- Immunology
Background:
- Paraneoplastic neurological syndromes (PNS) are a diverse group of neurological disorders caused by the immune system's response to cancer.
- These syndromes arise from onconeural antibodies attacking the central nervous system (CNS).
- Delayed diagnosis of PNS often leads to poor clinical outcomes due to irreversible neuronal damage.

Digestion begins with a cephalic phase that prepares the digestive system to receive food. When our brain processes visual or olfactory information about food, it triggers impulses in the cranial nerves innervating the salivary glands and stomach to prepare for food.

01:28Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: Neurokinin-1 Receptor Antagonists
583
Neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptors are distributed across the GI tract, vagal afferents, and key CNS regions including the central vomiting center and chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) Chemotherapy agents stimulate enterochromaffin cells in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract to release large amounts of substance P (SP). SP is a neuropeptide released by specific sensory nerves in response to many different stressors, including those in the GI mucosa affected by chemotherapy. SP binds and activates...
