Cancer pain is a serious health problem and imposes a great burden on the lives of patients and their families. Pain can be associated with delay in treatment, denial of treatment, or failure of treatment. If the pain is not treated properly it may impair the quality of life. Neuropathic cancer pain (NCP) is one of the most complex phenomena among cancer pain syndromes. NCP may result from direct damage to nerves due to acute diagnostic/therapeutic interventions. Chronic NCP is the result of treatment complications or malignancy itself. Although the reason for pain is different in NCP and noncancer neuropathic pain, the pathophysiologic mechanisms are similar. Data regarding neuropathic pain are primarily obtained from neuropathic pain studies. Evidence pertaining to NCP is limited. NCP due to chemotherapeutic toxicity is a major problem for physicians [4]. In the past two decades, there have been efforts to standardize NCP treatment to provide better medical service. Opioids are the mainstay of cancer pain treatment; however, a new group of therapeutics called co-analgesic drugs has been introduced to pain treatment. These co-analgesics include gabapentinoids (gabapentin, pregabalin), antidepressants (tricyclic antidepressants, duloxetine, and venlafaxine), corticosteroids, bisphosphonates, N-methyl-D-aspartate antagonists, and cannabinoids. Pain can be encountered throughout every step of cancer treatment, and thus all practicing oncologists must be capable of assessing pain, know the possible underlying pathophysiology, and manage it appropriately. The purpose of this review is to discuss neuropathic pain and NCP in detail, the relevance of this topic, clinical features, possible pathology, and treatments of NCP

Paraneoplastic neurological syndrome (PNS)

Can have an undue influence on any part of the nervous system. There have been cases wherein such syndromes occur as the first sign of a tumor or lead to its detection. Commonly, they emerge during the progression of cancer. Survival is usually influenced by the progression of cancer, but PNS can cause severe neurologic disability and may be fatal. PNSs are relatively rare and occur due to the remote effect of a tumor; they are metastases that are not directly caused by mass lesions. The primary pathological mechanism for PNS is a form of onconeural immunology wherein a cancer causes a cross-immune reaction with neurons. An immune response that targets these proteins can then cross-react with neurons that express the same proteins. One of the most common forms of PNS is paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration (PCD).

Etiopathogenesis of neuropathic pain

Over the once decade, the pathophysiology of neuropathic runs and NP have been the subject of expansive preclinical and clinical exploration [5]. Neuropathy runs are diseases of the CNS or PNS, whether they're associated with a provable lesion. NP is a part of these runs. The etiologic condition can be a primary lesion of a whim-whams, or it can laterally involve the function or conduction pathway of that whim-whams. occasionally, the first etiology disappears with time, but pain continues. The most generally considered proposition is that pain is potentially a learned condition. moment, this notion is extensively accepted, although it was firstly introduced in an evolutionary way.12 Peripheral and central mechanisms can play part in NP. Under normal conditions, unmyelinated C filaments and thinly myelinated filaments are responsible for the transmission of painful stimulants. They're responsive to high thresholds, but in neuropathic conditions their physiology changes. robotic exertion is apparent in injured- area neurons. In beast models, ectopic neuronal activation related to conking sodium or conceivably potassium channels in supplemental jitters and rearward root ganglia have been reported. supplemental lesions can induce central changes at spinal cord situations or advanced in the CNS.10 Every step from signal transduction from primary painful encouragement and supplemental whim-whams malleability to microglial activation, central encouragement association, and central neural malleability can be involved in pathophysiology [6-8]. Central neuronal malleability and hyperexcitability are presumably sensitive to intracellular protein- attention changes. These changes can be convinced by activation of N- methyl- D- aspartate( NMDA) receptors by excitatory neurotransmitters. cancer case with paraneoplastic sensitive dominant neuropathy, a type of PNS; this finding was reported previous to our studies. therefore, we believe that further onconeural antibodies associated with PNS should be linked to interpret the molecular medium of pathogenesis for PNS and establish a new strategy for the treatment of PNS cases. The Well- Characterized Onconeural Antibodies should be used to definitively diagnose PNS. The description of a well- characterized antibody is dependent upon the following

• Identification during routine immunohistochemistry and immunoblotting on recombinant proteins, which must be used to corroborate their particularity

• Several reported cases associated with excrescences.

• Description of well- characterized neurological runs associated with the antibody;

• The definite identification of the antibodies in different studies; and

• Frequency of these antibodies in cases without cancer

• The well characterized antibodies can be associated with several different neurologic runs, and they're largely prophetic of cancers.

Conclusion

This study shows, the well- characterized onconeural antibodies, associated cancers and runs. unborn studies will conceivably allow incompletely characterized onconeural antibodies to be upgraded to well- characterized antibodies. The use of other antineuronal antibodies that have been detected sometimes in only one or many cases with PNS in the opinion of PNS isn't recommended until sufficient data are attained. Pathogenesis The study of the pathogenesis of PCD or PNS caused by intracellular antigens, similar as CKB, has not progressed well because it's delicate to show direct substantiation that the antibody response with intracellular antigens causes PCD or PNS. Till date, colorful studies have been accepted to produce a beast model of PCD by unresistant transfer trials or active vaccination with an antigen, but they've failed, suggesting the possibility that these antibodies may not be a direct pathogen and that the T cell- intermediated vulnerable system may be more important for pathogenesis of PCD caused by autoantibodies against intracellular antigens. In vitro studies of T cells deduced from cases with ovarian melanoma and PCD persuasively support the part of onconeural peptide specific CD8 T cells as effectors of the seditious cytotoxic neuropathology following autoantibodies specific for neural intracellular antigens. Actuated CD8 T cells presumably emigrate from excrescence- draining lymph bumps to the systemic rotation, cross the capillary endothelium, enter the central nervous system’s parenchyma, and attack neural cells displaying major histocompatibility complex; MHC class I- bound peptides. still, a recent study showed that Yo antibodies beget Purkinje cell death directly in cerebellar slice societies andanti-Yo antibodies beget Purkinje cell death by binding to the intracellular 62- kDa Yo antigen. Despite these results, the part of well- characterized onconeural antibodies about the pathogenesis of PNS is unclear.
