Onconeuronal antibodies anti-Cv2 (IB)

Onconeuronal antibodies are antibodies that attack and destroy the nervous system. Determinations of onconeuronal antibodies allow, with an appropriate clinical picture, to make a confident diagnosis of neurological paraneoplastic syndrome and taking diagnostic measures aimed at determining the localization of the primary tumor and implementation of specific treatment. Each of the antibodies is specific to a particular paraneoplastic syndrome and cancer. Anti - CV2 antibodies are characteristic of: cerebellar ataxia, sensory-motor neuropathy, choroiditis, retinitis pigmentosa, and motor, choroiditis, retinopathy, encephalomyelitis, small cell lung cancer, thymoma.
