Diagnosing paraneoplastic syndromes can be challenging due to their varied presentation. The diagnosis often involves a combination of clinical evaluation, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Important diagnostic tools include:
- MRI and CT scans to identify any underlying tumors. - Blood tests to detect autoantibodies associated with paraneoplastic syndromes. - Cerebrospinal fluid analysis in cases involving neurological symptoms. - Biopsy of the tumor to confirm the presence of cancer.
