Quizplus · Accepted Answer

These anti-bodies often not only attack the tumor, but also attack a portion of the nervous system not related to the tumor. The conditions that result are known as paraneoplastic syndrome and can cause difficulty when diagnosing cancers, as the symptoms are not necessarily located where the tumor is.
