Endocrine paraneoplastic syndromes in lung cancer
Abstract
Lung tumors are capable of synthesizing and secreting peptide proteins (hormones) that lead to a variety of endocrine paraneoplastic syndromes. Knowledge about the clinical manifestations, pathophysiology, and treatment of these syndromes has evolved over time. This article provides an up-to-date overview of this knowledge.
