Test Overview
Investigating a subacute multifocal neurological disorder without obvious cause, especially in a patient with past or family history of cancer, or smoking history. Directing a focused search for cancer. Investigating neurological symptoms that appear in the course or wake of cancer therapy, and are not explainable by metastasis. Differentiating autoimmune neuropathies from neurotoxic effects of chemotherapy. Monitoring the immune response of seropositive patients in the course of cancer therapy. Detecting early evidence of cancer recurrence in previously seropositive patients.
Interpretive report provided.
* Reference ranges may change over time. Please refer to the original patient report when evaluating results.
Negative results do not exclude cancer. Test does not detect Ma2 (MaTa) Antibody. Ma2 Antibody has been described in patients with brainstem and limbic encephalitis in the context of testicular germ cell neoplasms. Scrotal ultra-sound is advisable in men who present with unexplained subacute encephalitis.
