Abstract

The aim of this review is to give general information about the paraneoplastic syndrome. Paraneoplastic syndrome has become widespread in veterinary medicine today. Paraneoplastic syndromes occur after many cancer diseases. Clinical findings of paraneoplastic syndrome include hypoglycemia, cachexia, anemia, hypercalcemia, polycythemia, disseminated intravascular coagulopathy, thrombocytopenia or thrombocytosis, increased globulin level, eosinophilia, myasthenia gravis, gastric ulceration, alopecia, neutrophilia-induced leukocytosis, osteopathy, glomerulonephritis, and fever. The effects of paraneoplastic syndrome in veterinary medicine are very high. We think that more scientific studies should be done on this subject. The effect of tumoral diseases, which are still very common today, has increased even more. It is very important to examine the shaped effects in more detail and to take preventive veterinary measures.
