ABSTRACT
Cancer is one of the main causes of mortality in the world today.
In addition to clinical signs characterizing the different types of proliferative diseases, they can be present in the form of paraneoplastic syndrome (PS). Among the forms of PS are rheumatic symptoms, which may suggest the diagnosis of cancer, or predispose to its development. The authors present the most common symptoms of rheumatic diseases in the course of cancer, and discuss the issue of predisposition to the development of proliferative disease in patients with various rheumatic diseases. In this paper the authors also describe the main pathomechanisms that may lead to the emergence of paraneoplastic syndromes.
