Abstract

Anti-Hu antibodies are directed against lung cancer cell antigens. The anti-tumor effect of anti-Hu antibodies has been suggested by several studies demonstrating that patients presenting with anti-Hu antibodies have a longer survival. In this case report, we suggest that the immunology of HuAb paraneplastic syndrome by itself could induce tumor response.
