The present work was aimed to study mechanisms of paraneoplastic alterations of tissue redox-status, intensity of local blood flow in liver and their possible interrelations in case of malignant tumor growth. It has been investigated the electronic paramagnetic centres of blood and liver using the electronic paramagnetic resonance (EPR) method and intensity of local hemocirculation with the use of H(+) clearance polarography method. Experiments have been carried out on adult white rats of mixed population with carcinoma Walker and mice -- with carcinoma Ehrlich. It has been shown that malignant tumor growth displays conditions that lead to exaggerated lipid peroxidation (production of POL promoters -- Fe(2+), Mn(2+), NO, ubiquinone) and suppression of antioxidant protection of organism (reduction of total ceruloplasmin concentration in blood and increased concentration of oxidized ceruloplasmin). It has been suggested that in case of malignant tumor growth sharp paraneoplastic alterations of redox-status plays essential role in mechanisms of paraneoplastic disorders of tissues blood supply. All of these interrelated processes result in generalized paraneoplastic hypoxia in organs and tissues.

Thrombocytopenia is a common complication in patients with solid tumors, particularly renal cell carcinoma (RCC), arising from mechanisms such as chemotherapy, direct tumor invasion, and paraneoplastic syndromes. Managing thrombocytopenia in advanced cancer presents significant challenges, often limiting therapeutic options and impacting patient outcomes. This case report describes a 62-year-old man with metastatic RCC complicated by persistent thrombocytopenia, unresponsive to both conventional treatments and novel therapies.

Background: Nonislet cell tumor hypoglycemia (NICTH) is a rare but serious complication of malignancy. Various causes of this type of hypoglycemia include excessive tumor burden resulting in destruction of the liver or adrenal glands, production of autoantibodies against insulin and tumoral production of incompletely processed IGF-2.
Objectives: Objective of this case report is to explore pathogenic mechanisms for hypoglycemia in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and evidence-based treatment options.

Paraneoplastic chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (CIPO) is a rare manifestation associated with small cell lung carcinoma and other malignancies. In this report, we present a challenging case involving a 60-year-old man with small cell lung carcinoma who developed symptoms of intestinal pseudo-obstruction, including abdominal distention, pain, and obstipation. Despite receiving extensive treatment with intravenous gamma globulin and glucocorticoids, the patient's symptoms did not improve, ultimately resulting in irreversible nervous system damage.

Paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration (PCD) is a rapidly progressive, immune-mediated syndrome characterized by the degeneration of Purkinje cells, often associated with the presence of antibodies targeting intracellular antigens within these cells. These autoantibodies are implicated in the induction of cytotoxicity, leading to Purkinje cell death, as demonstrated in in vitro models. However, the precise roles of antibodies and T lymphocytes in mediating neuronal injury remain a subject of ongoing research, with T cells appearing to be the main effectors of cerebellar injury.

Background: Amyloidosis combined with lung cancer is a rare occurrence. To date, there are no reported cases of amyloid light-chain(AL) amyloidosis solely affecting the colon combined with pulmonary adenocarcinoma.
Case Summary: Here, we describe a case of a 66-year-old woman who presented with recurrent abdominal pain and was eventually diagnosed with AL amyloidosis with colon involvement and pulmonary adenocarcinoma.
