Abstract

Treatment strategies in paraneoplastic neurological syndromes rely on the three pillars of tumor treatment, immunotherapy, and symptomatic treatment, the first one being by far the most important in the majority of patients and syndromes. Classically, antibodies against extracellular antigens are directly pathogenic, and patients with these syndromes are more responsive to immunomodulatory or immunosuppressive treatments than the ones with antibodies against intracellular targets. This chapter first discusses some general principles of tumor treatment and immunotherapy, followed by a closer look at specific treatment options for different clinical syndromes, focusing on symptomatic treatments.

副肿瘤性神经综合征治疗策略概述。

副肿瘤性神经综合征的治疗策略依赖于肿瘤治疗、免疫治疗和对症治疗这三大支柱，其中第一支柱对大多数患者和综合征来说是最重要的。从经典上讲，针对细胞外抗原的抗体是直接致病的，与针对细胞内靶点的抗体相比，这些综合征的患者对免疫调节或免疫抑制治疗的反应更为敏感。本章首先讨论了肿瘤治疗和免疫疗法的一些一般原则，然后仔细研究了不同临床综合征的具体治疗方案，重点是对症治疗。

期刊介绍： The Handbook of Clinical Neurology (HCN) was originally conceived and edited by Pierre Vinken and George Bruyn as a prestigious, multivolume reference work that would cover all the disorders encountered by clinicians and researchers engaged in neurology and allied fields. The first series of the Handbook (Volumes 1-44) was published between 1968 and 1982 and was followed by a second series (Volumes 45-78), guided by the same editors, which concluded in 2002. By that time, the Handbook had come to represent one of the largest scientific works ever published. In 2002, Professors Michael J. Aminoff, François Boller, and Dick F. Swaab took on the responsibility of supervising the third (current) series, the first volumes of which published in 2003. They have designed this series to encompass both clinical neurology and also the basic and clinical neurosciences that are its underpinning. Given the enormity and complexity of the accumulating literature, it is almost impossible to keep abreast of developments in the field, thus providing the raison d''être for the series. The series will thus appeal to clinicians and investigators alike, providing to each an added dimension. Now, more than 140 volumes after it began, the Handbook of Clinical Neurology series has an unparalleled reputation for providing the latest information on fundamental research on the operation of the nervous system in health and disease, comprehensive clinical information on neurological and related disorders, and up-to-date treatment protocols.
