Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Such patients with paraneoplastic neurologic degenerations(PNDs) may have autoantibodies, an antibody or protein the immune system creates that is directed against his or her own proteins. This study aims to better understand PNDS by:
* analyzing for autoantibodies in serum and cerebral spinal fluid
* analyzing for antigen specificity and for antigens in cancer tissue
* comparing PND autoantibodies with those in cancer patients but no PND
* comparing PND autoantibodies with those in PND patients but no cancer
* studying the immune performance of patients with PNDs
As this study is not a treatment study, tissues for this study will only come from procedures necessary for the patient's treatment.
