What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing sudden or unexplained neurological symptoms like memory problems, muscle weakness, balance issues, vision changes, or unusual movements. It's also useful if you have numbness, tingling, or muscle stiffness that came on quickly and doctors haven't found a clear cause. This panel looks for specific antibodies in your blood that are sometimes linked to these kinds of nerve and brain-related symptoms, especially when they show up alongside or before a cancer diagnosis.

What's included in this test?

This panel checks for a wide group of antibodies that the body sometimes produces in response to certain cancers, which can end up attacking nerve cells and causing neurological symptoms. Each antibody in this group is linked to different patterns of symptoms, such as memory and thinking changes, muscle weakness, coordination problems, or vision issues, so testing for many at once gives a fuller picture of what might be happening in your nervous system.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will appear in your online account, with each antibody marker explained along with what a normal versus abnormal finding looks like. If any markers come back positive, the report will walk you through what that could mean and suggest next steps, and if any values are dangerously abnormal it's important to seek medical care right away. You can download a standard lab report from your account at any time, and if you retest in the future, the trends feature lets you track changes over time.

How can I naturally support nervous system health?

While these antibodies aren't something you can fix with lifestyle changes alone, supporting your nervous system with good sleep, regular gentle movement, and a diet rich in omega-3s and antioxidants can help overall nerve health. Managing stress and avoiding alcohol and smoking also reduce added strain on your nervous system. If symptoms are new or getting worse, these steps are a helpful addition alongside prompt medical attention, not a replacement for it.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days after your sample is collected at the lab. This test uses a detailed antibody analysis, which takes a bit longer than routine bloodwork, so the extra time allows the lab to carefully check for each of the specific markers included in this panel. You'll get a notification as soon as your results are available in your account.

Who should consider this test?

This test is a good option for anyone with a sudden onset of neurological symptoms that seem to be affecting memory, movement, coordination, sensation, or vision without an obvious explanation. It may also make sense if you have a current or past cancer diagnosis and are experiencing new nervous system symptoms, since certain cancers are more likely to trigger these antibody responses. People who have already been told they may have an autoimmune or antibody-related neurological condition may also use this panel to help monitor changes.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Watch for symptoms like sudden confusion or memory loss, muscle weakness that worsens over days or weeks, loss of balance or coordination, abnormal eye movements, unexplained numbness or tingling, or muscle stiffness and spasms. Vision changes, autonomic issues like unusual sweating or blood pressure swings, and rapid unexplained personality changes can also be signs worth checking. These symptoms appearing quickly, especially without a clear cause, are the biggest reason to consider this panel.

What does a positive antibody result mean?

A positive result means your body has produced one or more of the specific antibodies this panel screens for, which can sometimes attack nerve tissue and cause the kind of symptoms mentioned above. It doesn't automatically mean you have cancer, but a positive finding is often followed by more specific tests to look for an underlying cause. Because these results can be serious, it's important to seek medical care promptly to understand what the result means for your specific situation.

What causes these antibodies to appear?

These antibodies typically show up when the immune system mistakenly reacts to nerve cells, often triggered by a tumor that has proteins similar to those found in nerve tissue. The immune system attacks what it thinks is the tumor but ends up harming nearby nerve cells too. This can happen even before a tumor is large enough to be found through imaging, which is part of why this test is useful for early detection of an underlying problem.

What should I do if my results are abnormal?

If your results show one or more positive antibodies, it's important to seek medical care as soon as possible so the finding can be followed up with additional testing, such as imaging to look for an underlying tumor. Keep a record of when your symptoms started and how they've changed, since this information is valuable for figuring out next steps. Retesting later on can also help track whether antibody levels are changing over time.
