AB A  wide  variety  of  extrapulmonary  syndromes  have  been  reported  with  lung  cancer.  This  chapter  focuses  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  according  to  the  system  in  which  they  cause  disease  (endocrine,  hematologic,  dermatologic,  rheumatologic,  or  neurologic  syndromes).  More  broadly  speaking,  they  are  either  hormonally  or  immunologically  based.
