Neuronal Paraneoplastic Profile Serum near me in Pune

The Neuronal Paraneoplastic Profile Serum detects antibodies against neuronal antigens like amphiphysin, Ri, Yo, Titin (MGT30), HuD, CV2 (CRMP5), Ma1, Ma2, SOX1, Tr (DNER), Zic4, GAD65, PKCγ, and recoverin. These antibodies are often linked to paraneoplastic neurological syndromes, which are conditions where the immune system mistakenly attacks the nervous system in response to an underlying cancer. Detecting these antibodies can help doctors identify the cause of unexplained neurological symptoms and may also provide an early clue to cancers such as lung, breast, or ovarian cancer. The test is therefore an important tool in guiding further evaluation and management.

However, a negative result does not completely rule out paraneoplastic syndrome, as antibodies may not be present in all patients. Therefore, test results should always be interpreted alongside clinical findings, imaging studies, and other relevant investigations for an accurate diagnosis.
