PY - 2015 T2 - Fishman's Pulmonary Diseases and Disorders, 5e AB - A wide variety of extrapulmonary syndromes have been reported with lung cancer. This chapter will focus primarily on paraneoplastic syndromes, a heterogeneous group of disorders associated with cancer but not due to direct invasion, obstruction, or metastasis.1,2 As many paraneoplastic syndromes share similar underlying mechanisms, they may be classified as endocrine, hematologic, and neurologic syndromes. More broadly speaking, they are either hormonally or immunologically based.
