AI Article Synopsis
- Cutaneous paraneoplastic syndromes are rare skin conditions that are not cancerous themselves but are related to the presence of a tumor.
- These skin and nail changes occur due to substances produced by the tumor or as a reaction to it, and they often improve when the underlying cancer is treated.
- The article aims to help with the early identification of these skin signs, which can lead to quicker cancer diagnosis and better patient outcomes.
Article Abstract
The cutaneous paraneoplastic syndromes are rare and intrinsically devoid of any neoplastic nature. The manifestations on the skin and the nails are due to various mechanisms caused by the tumor, either due to production of bioactive substances or in response to it. These disorders evolve in parallel to the malignancy, in that, they regress when the tumor is removed and reappear in the case of tumor recurrence. The aim of this article is to aid with the early recognition of the signs, leading to the early detection of cancer and therefore to better clinical outcomes for the patients.
