How does Cancer Lead to Neuromuscular Complications?
Cancer can cause neuromuscular complications through several mechanisms: - Direct Invasion: Tumors can invade surrounding nerves and muscles. - Paraneoplastic Syndromes: These are rare disorders triggered by an immune response to cancer. - Metastasis: Cancer can spread to the nervous system, including the brain and spinal cord. - Treatment Side Effects: Chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery can damage nerves and muscles.
