|
Primary cancers evolving from neuromuscular system are rare. However, neuromuscular system involvement is common in cancer patients. All part of neuromuscular system including motor neurons in the spinal cord, sensory dorsal root ganglia, nerve roots, plexuses, cranial nerves, peripheral nerves and neuromuscular junctions can involve. These include metastasis, paraneoplastic syndrome, toxicity of cancer treatment, infection due to immune suppression and metabolic/nutritional issue. In this review we discuss the different causes and mechanisms of disorders of the neuromuscular system in patients with cancer. |
