The neuronal autoantibodies profile test analyses the presence of antibodies that become active during paraneoplastic syndromes (PNS). These syndromes or disorders can initiate from tumours like small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC), breast cancer, thymoma, or ovarian cancer.
This test helps evaluate paraneoplastic syndromes associated with the nervous system. The test results can detect the presence of the following antibodies:
- Anti-Hu
- Anti-Yo
- Anti-Ri
- Anti-Tr
- Amphiphysin
- Titin
- Recoverin
Each of these antibodies is associated with distinct tumours. The neuronal autoantibodies profile test determines the occurrence of such autoantibodies.
In addition to blood tests and spinal tap, your doctor can also conduct a clinical exam. This clinical evaluation can include questions related to your reflexes, balance, mood, vision, muscle strength, memory, etc.
Why Should You Get Tested?
Paraneoplastic syndromes are generally associated with different types of cancers. So, it is very important to follow all medical protocols for early detection and diagnosis.
The neuronal autoantibodies profile generates a comprehensive report related to the nervous system. Diseases associated with the nervous system can hamper your daily functioning. Delay in the detection of these autoantibodies can aggravate the symptoms to a great extent. Hence, it is crucial to follow your doctor’s advice and consider a professional neuronal autoantibodies test profile.
