5 Neurological Effects of Cancer Direct Primary Metastatic Indirect Paraneoplastic Treatment

6 Primary Malignancy BRAIN o When in hemispheres usually present with seizures, personality or cognitive change, visual change or headache o Cerebellar present with raised ICP, balance o Brainstem multifocal SPINAL CORD o Cord syndrome o Acute/subacute o Often bladder and bowel o Often painless o Usually multiple segments

7 Neurological Effects of Cancer Direct Primary Metastatic Indirect Paraneoplastic Treatment

8 Direct Effects of Metastatic Cancer Localization CNS o Brain o Spinal Cord PNS o Root o Plexus o Nerve

9 CNS Brain o Focal Symptoms/Deficit o Cognitive/Personality Change o Headache o Diagnosis o CT with contrast o MRI o CSF (meningeal involvement)

10 CNS Spinal Cord o Focal/cord deficit o Pain o Diagnosis X-ray MRI

11 PNS Root o Radicular Symptoms o Often multiple o +/- Spinal cord o Pain o Diagnosis MRI EMG CSF

12 PNS Plexus o Multiple root/nerves o Pain o Diagnosis MRI + gadolinium EMG CSF

13 PNS Peripheral Nerve o Rare o Usually indirect

14 Treatment of Secondary Cancer in the Nervous System Diagnosis Referral Pain o Narcotics/Opioids o Pregabalin (Lyrica) o Cannabinoids (Sativex, Cesamet/Nabilone, medical marijauna) Treatment of the Tumor

15 Neurological Effects of Cancer Direct Primary Metastatic Indirect Paraneoplastic Treatment

16 Paraneoplastic Syndromes Immune mediated/onconeuronal antigens Cytotoxic T-cell responses (CD8+/CD4+) Precede tumor diagnosis in 60% Check CSF + blood for antibody (Anti-Hu, Anti- Ri, Anti-Yo) Occult neoplasm presumed

17 Paraneoplastic Syndromes Most common in: o SCLC o Breast o Ovary o Neuroblastoma o Plasma cell tumors Acute/subacute onset Blood/CSF/MRI/PET

18 Paraneoplastic Syndromes in CNS o Cerebellar degeneration SCLC, Breast, Ovary, Lymphoma Anti-Yo o Encephalomyelitis (Limbic encephalitis) Lung Anti-Hu o Opsoclonus Myoclonus Neuroblastoma, SCLC, Breast Anti-Hu, Anti-Ri

19 Paraneoplastic Syndromes in PNS o Sensory neuronopathy (dorsal root ganglion) Lung Anti-Hu o Subacute or chronic sensorimotor peripheral neuropathy Plasma cell dyscrasias, B-cell lymphoma

20 Paraneoplastic Syndromes of the Neuromuscular Junction o Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome Fatigue, weakness, myalgia, paresthesias Cholinergic dysautonomia dry mouth Characteristic EMG SCLC Anti VGCC Treat with 3,4-diaminopyridine

21 Paraneoplastic Syndromes of Muscle Dermatomyositis o Subacute muscle weakness, elevated CK o dysphagia o Skin changes o Breast, lung, ovarian, gastric o Anti-Jo Acute Necrotizing Myopathy o Solid tumors

22 Paraneoplastic Syndromes Treatment Steroids IVIg Plasma Exchange Treatment of underlying tumor

23 Indirect Paraneoplastic Treatment Chemo Radiation

24 Chemotheraphy Neuropathy Encephalopathy Acute cerebellar syndrome/ataxia Myelopathy Cerebral Vasculopathy

25 Radiation Brain o Acute (hours to days) ICP vasogenic edema o Early Delayed (weeks) Diffuse (somnolence), or focal demyelination o Delayed (months to years) Diffuse (dementia), or focal glial and vascular destruction

26 Radiation Spinal Cord o Early delayed (weeks) L hermittes sign demyelination o Delayed (months to years) Necrosis MND Arachnoiditis Glial and vascular destruction

27 Radiation Cranial Nerves o Visual loss (retina, optic nerve, central artery occlusion) o Hearing loss ( radiation otitis) o 12th nerve (hypoglossal)

28 Radiation Plexopathy (brachial/lumbosacral) o Delayed o Fibrosis o No pain
