OSTEOARTICULAR PARANEOPLASTIC SYNDROMES ASSOCIATED TO LUNG CANCER
Abstract:
Paraneoplastic syndromes are a group of disorders associated with malignancies, independent
of the location or size of the tumor. They are mediated by soluble mediators such as hormones and
cytokines released by tumor tissue. In the case of paraneoplastic rheumatologic syndromes, symptoms

and therefore, can be of great clinical importance through early detection and initiation of appropriate
therapy
