Abstract

PURPOSE: Autoantibodies to tumour-associated antigens (TAAs) are often described as being present in individuals with cancer. Whilst it is hard to envisage an immune response to a tumour only occurring at the point of diagnosis, antibodies have not been described in the majority of individuals with SCLC before clinical identification, due to its usually late presentation. LEMS is a paraneoplastic neurological disorder often found in association with SCLC (50-60%) and with voltage-gated calcium channel antibodies (~90%).
