| Abstract | Paraneoplasia has come to denote those tumor activities not caused within an organism directly by invasion, obstruction, or by the tumor burden itself. PSN research has yielded best results through the examination of those hormones produced by the tumor, esp. the pro-ACTH and its functionally active subgroups, furthermore the ADH, gonadotropins, HPL, STH, prolactine etc. Frequently very special features have been found to characterize this disease which have been published in detail. In addition to this, several differentiating PNS have been described without having been sufficiently defined, esp. those concerning the nervous system, the haematopoesia , the kidneys, the skin and the gastrointestinal system. In very rare cases there has been a mention or different characteristic syndromes that have come to be assigned to special kinds of tumors. |
