Objective

Paraneoplastic Neurological Syndromes (PNS) are rare diseases that can arise as remote effects of cancers. Since these syndromes are often the first sign of malignancy, correct diagnosis through the detection of specific autoantibodies could lead to early tumor discovery, when treatment could be successful. The infrequent PNS occurrence make it difficult to carry out extensive studies, a limitation, which can only be solved through international collaborative studies. The aim of this project is to develop a European partnership to produce a database, organize a sample bank for use by the participants in which sufficient, comparable data can be collected and finalized for clinico-laboratory studies. This would permit exploitation of data for scientific research, marking an important advance in neurological diagnosis and early cancer detection.
