Patients with cancer commonly suffer neurologic disabilities. These neurologic disorders can be either metastatic to the brain, spinal cord, leptomeninges, or peripheral nerves or nonmetastatic including infections, vascular problems, metabolic abnormalities, side effects of therapy, or paraneoplastic syndromes. Careful diagnostic evaluation of patients with cancer and neurologic symptoms often indicates effective therapy.
癌症患者常伴有神经功能障碍。这些神经疾病可能是转移至脑、脊髓、软脑膜或周围神经，也可能是非转移性的，包括感染、血管问题、代谢异常、治疗副作用或副肿瘤综合征。对有癌症和神经症状的患者进行仔细的诊断评估往往能指明有效的治疗方法。
