PLEASE NOTE:
I made a mistake in not being specific enough when discussing paraneoplastic syndromes and Lambert-Eaton Syndrome. For instance, in the discussion of Lambert-Eaton syndrome, I should have said "the cancer is leading to the production of autoantibodies" instead of "the cancer is producing autoantibodies". Antibodies are produced by the patient's immune system, generally against components of the cancer, with some antibodies also reactive against other non-cancerous and healthy tissue. My apologies for the confusion.
