LOINC code53717-5
namePCA-1 Ab [Titer] in Serum
descriptionPCA-1 antibody is rarely found in patients with neurologic diseases without breast or gynecologic cancer. Conversely, it is rarely found in patients with breast or gynecologic cancer without neurologic dysfunction. Paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration is associated with breast or gynecological (ovarian, fallopian, endometrial) tumors, and less commonly with lung (SCLC -small cell lung cancer) or Hodgkin lymphoma. More than 50% of seropositive patients present with subacute cerbellar ataxia and approximately 5% with sensorimotor or motor neuropathy.
