Dalmau et al.

Dalmau et al. conducted research on a condition called paraneoplastic neurological syndromes, where the immune system mistakenly attacks the nervous system in response to cancer. Their work identified specific antibodies—proteins produced by the immune system—that target parts of the brain and nerve cells, leading to neurological symptoms. Recognizing these antibodies helps doctors diagnose certain cancers earlier and treat neurological issues more effectively. Essentially, their research advanced understanding of how some cancers can cause neurological problems through immune reactions, improving diagnosis and guiding better patient management.
