LOINC description : PCA-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. Information from http://www.clinlabnavigator.com accessed 2008
