Abstract:
Neurologic complications of systemic cancer may result from metastatic spread of tumor to the central nervous system, from paraneoplastic effects of peripheral tumor, or from side effects of anticancer therapy. This article outlines currently available data on clinical presentations of these complications and diagnostic modalities for their recognition, data which may help the clinician ameliorate the often devastating sequelae of these neurologic complications.
