The present study highlights about a retrospective
examination of 1800 patients diagnosed with different types of cancer, focusing
on paraneoplastic disorders as well as severe infections and their main
localization. The disease progression in cancer patients may occur due to the
local and/or systemic spread of the primary malignancy, even though, all
possible active oncological treatment options were tried. The prevalance of
disorders of infectious and paraneoplastic origins in 750 patients with solid
malignancies of advanced clinical stage in various locations has been reviewed
by the authors in the period from 2009 to 2019. Of the infections, pneumonia
and acute exacerbation of COPD occurred most frequently. According to the
findings, bacterial infections in cancer patients are usually linked to severe
symptoms and frequently result in sepsis. The most significant paraneoplastic
disparities are those related to hemastasis and disorders of the haematological
system. Of the metabolic disorders, hyponatraemia was predominant and had a
significant negative affect on the quality of life of the patients.
Additionally, both in number and nature, several disorders were observed
related to gastrointestinal diseases, renal involvement, autoimmune processes,
and endocrine disorders.
