Evaluation of potential prevalence of onconeural antibodies in women with breast cancer.

Objective: Aim: To analyse onconeural antibodies in the blood serum of breast cancer patients without neurological symptoms..

Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: The study included 48 women with breast cancer. Paraneoplastic Neurologic Syndromes 12 Ag (IgG) Euroline by EUROIMMUN test was used to determine onconeural antibodies: anti-Hu, anti-Yo, anti-Ri, anti-CV2, anti-Ma/anti-Ta, anti-amphiphysin, anti-recoverin, anti-SOX1, anti-tytin, anti-zic4, anti-GAD65 and anti-Tr (DNER).

Results: Results: The conducted analysis revealed the presence of onconeural antibodies such as: anti-recoverin, anti-CV2, anti-Zic4, anti-SOX1, anti-MA2/Ta and antititin in blood serum of women with breast cancer.

Conclusion: Conclusions: Further analysis may allow the assessment of the possible clinical usefulness of these determinations.
