Abstract

The advances of recent decades in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer have managed to increase survival, but this has produced an increase in neurological complications. These complications can be caused by cancer and its treatment and sometimes can be the first manifestation of cancer disease. Some of these complications are potentially reversible so that early diagnosis and proper treatment can improve the neurological symptoms and quality of life of these patients. In this article we will review major neurological complications of cancer patients and also do a diagnostic and therapeutic orientation.
