Abstract:

Objective To investigate the cause for low tumor diagnostic rate for patients with typical paraneoplastic antibody positive.Methods Neuronal antigen IgG antibody was determined by immunoblotting assay. Tumor markers were determined by chemiluminescence. The clinical data,including the results of tumor biomarkers and diagnosis for patients with typical paraneoplastic antibody positive,were collected through terminal electronic medical record.Results There were 15(17.9%),0(0.0%),18(21.4%),26(31.0%),9(10.7%) and 12(14.3%) positive cases of anti-Hu,anti-Ri,anti-Yo,anti-PNMA2(Ma2/Ta),anti-CV2 and anti-Amphiphysin antibodies,respectively. There were 3 positive cases of both anti-CV2 and anti-PNMA2(Ma2/Ta) antibodies and 1 positive case of both anti-CV2 and anti-Hu antibodies. Tumors were found in 14.3% patients of 84 cases of typical paraneoplastic antibody positive. Moreover,7.4% patients with positive anti-Hu or anti-Amphiphysin antibodies were diagnosed with tumors. Tumor markers were not determined in 14 of 72 patients(19.4%) who were not diagnosed with tumors. The negative rate and the positive rate of tumor markers were 46.6%(27 cases) and 53.4%(31 cases) in 58 patients who were not diagnosed with tumors,respectively.Conclusions The tumor missed diagnosis rate is high in patients with typical paraneoplastic antibody positive,which could be due to the missed determination of tumor markers,no further determination of tumors in patients with normal tumor marker determination results and inaccurate site of tumor examination.
