This is the first reported case of SCLC-associated CAR to present with chorioretinitis.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
CAR can present with periphlebitis and a negative-type ERG. Greater awareness of these associations may allow for earlier detection of future cases.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
A 67-year-old woman with small-cell endometrial carcinoma suffering from deterioration of visual acuity is presented.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Using a 7 kb subclone of the human recoverin gene, a positive fluorescence in situ hybridization signal was demonstrated near the terminus of the shortarm of chromosome 17 at position p13.1.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Invasive thymoma was considered to be the causative tumor because there had been no evidence that suggested other systemic malignancy during more than 3 years of follow-up.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Taken together, our present data suggest that peripheral activation of recoverin-specific antitumor CTL is likely to contribute to the preferable prognosis of CAR( ) cancer patients.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This strongly suggested that the 23-kDa antigen and recoverin are identical proteins.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Regarding antibody generation in CAR, a high incidence of aberrant expression of recoverin in cancer tissues is important, as suggested previously.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This suggests that anti-enolase antibodies could be responsible for the development of CAR symptoms.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

One patient had a previous diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (patient 3), two patients had a previous diagnosis of birdshot retinochoroidopathy (patients 5 and 6), and one patient had a previous diagnosis of HLA-B27-positive panuveitis and vasculitis[dovepress.com]
During treatment, there was progressive improvement in symptoms and the ERG normalized. Serology confirmed complete clearance of autoantibodies.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
When cancer-associated retinopathy is suspected, a comparatively large quantity of steroids and anticancer treatment should be combined immediately.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Subsequent chest X-ray and CT scan showed partial regression of both primary tumor and lymph node metastasis without anticancer treatment.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Further understanding of CAR pathogenesis may offer potential avenues for treatment.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prednisone treatment appeared to reduce the patient's antibody titers to normal levels.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Taken together, our present data suggest that peripheral activation of recoverin-specific antitumor CTL is likely to contribute to the preferable prognosis of CAR( ) cancer patients.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Various immunomodulatory therapies have also been described with varying responses, but the overall visual prognosis remains poor.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Despite potential options for treatment, none have demonstrated much efficacy, and the visual prognosis is typically poor.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis The ophthalmological prognosis varies depending on the clinical course of CAR, ranging from progressive visual loss to blindness. The overall prognosis varies depending on the type of cancer present.[orpha.net]
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The etiology of SARDS in dogs does not appear to be similar to cancer-associated retinopathy in humans on the basis of absence of differential antibody activity against retinal proteins.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Etiology The exact etiology remains unknown but an autoimmune mechanism may contribute to the development of retinal degeneration. No known genetic association has been reported.[orpha.net]

Corticosteroid therapy could not prevent deterioration of visual acuity and field.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Corticosteroid therapy failed to prevent visual loss. She was found to possess antibodies against retinal 45 kd protein. This led to a diagnosis of cancer-associated retinopathy with atypical protein profile.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
