To summarize, we have reviewed the major endocrine, hematologic, neurologic, dermatologic, and miscellaneous paraneoplastic syndromes. These entities are of great importance to the primary care physician because, when recognized, they can permit early diagnosis of the neoplasm. Further, treatment can afford palliation of symptoms. We can expect more definite identification of the causes of the paraneoplastic syndromes in the future because more of the substances that are released by tumors will be identified and analyzed. We need to watch with anticipation for the development of specific treatments for the paraneoplastic syndromes as the causes are identified.
总之，我们回顾了主要的内分泌、血液、神经、皮肤及其他副肿瘤综合征。这些病症对初级保健医生非常重要，因为一旦识别出来，它们可以使肿瘤得到早期诊断。此外，治疗可以缓解症状。我们预计未来能更明确地确定副肿瘤综合征的病因，因为将会识别和分析更多由肿瘤释放的物质。随着病因的确定，我们需要期待针对副肿瘤综合征的特异性治疗方法的发展。
