Understanding Your Results
Positive for one or more antibodies
Indicates the presence of autoantibodies, suggestive of paraneoplastic neurological syndrome and warrants further clinical evaluation for underlying malignancy.
Negative for all antibodies
No detectable autoantibodies; however, clinical correlation is advised as symptoms may be due to other conditions.
Consult your oncologist or neurologist immediately if test results are positive, or if neurological symptoms persist or worsen regardless of results.
Limitations
- ⚠May not detect all paraneoplastic antibodies
- ⚠False negatives possible in early disease stages
- ⚠Results must be correlated with clinical and imaging findings
Risks & Considerations

- ●Rare risk of infection
- ●Light-headedness or dizziness during blood draw
Interfering Factors
