Ordering Guidance

This test is only appropriate for follow-up in patients who have previously tested positive in a serum test. If patients have not previously been positive in a serum test, order one of the following:

-AIAES / Axonal Neuropathy, Autoimmune/Paraneoplastic Evaluation, Serum

-CDS1 / CNS Demyelinating Disease Evaluation, Serum

-CIDP / Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy/Nodopathy Eval, Serum

-DYS2 / Dysautonomia, Autoimmune/Paraneoplastic Evaluation, Serum

-DMS2 / Dementia, Autoimmune/Paraneoplastic Evaluation, Serum

-ENS2 / Encephalopathy, Autoimmune/Paraneoplastic Evaluation, Serum

-EPS2 / Epilepsy, Autoimmune/Paraneoplastic Evaluation, Serum

-GID2 / Gastrointestinal Dysmotility, Autoimmune/Paraneoplastic Evaluation, Serum

-MAS1 / Myelopathy, Autoimmune/Paraneoplastic Evaluation, Serum

-MDS2 / Movement Disorder, Autoimmune/Paraneoplastic Evaluation, Serum

-MGLE / Myasthenia Gravis/Lambert-Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome Evaluation, Serum

-MGMR / Myasthenia Gravis Evaluation with Muscle-Specific Kinase (MuSK) Reflex, Serum

-NMS1 / Necrotizing Myopathy Evaluation, Serum

-PCDES / Pediatric Autoimmune Encephalopathy/CNS Disorder Evaluation, Serum

-SPPS / Stiff-Person Spectrum Disorders/PERM Evaluation, Serum

This test should not be requested in patients who have recently received radioisotopes, therapeutically or diagnostically, because of potential assay interference. The specific waiting period before specimen collection will depend on the isotope administered, the dose given, and the clearance rate in the individual patient. Specimens will be screened for radioactivity prior to analysis. Radioactive specimens received in the laboratory will be held 1 week and assayed if sufficiently decayed or canceled if radioactivity remains.

Interpretation

Antibodies directed at onconeural proteins shared by neurons, muscle, and certain cancers are valuable serological markers of a patient's immune response to cancer. They are not found in healthy subjects and are usually accompanied by subacute neurological signs and symptoms. Several autoantibodies have a syndromic association, but no known autoantibody predicts a specific neurological syndrome. Conversely, a positive autoantibody profile has 80% to 90% predictive value for a specific cancer. It is not uncommon for more than one paraneoplastic autoantibody to be detected, each predictive of the same cancer.
