Abstract

Clinical neurological and electrophysiological examinations were performed on 20 patients suffering from carcinoma of various localizations. A high percentage of involvement of peripheral nerves was found by motor nerve conduction studies. Severe reduction of the motor nerve conduction was demonstrated in patients who receivedce irradiation treatment. 50 % of the patients exhibited clinical signs of corticospinal tract involvement.
