Abstract

Cancer metastasis can affect any part of the nervous system. When the peripheral nervous system is involved, the usual targets are cranial nerves, nerve roots and plexi. However, peripheral nerves and muscles can also be affected by compression or infiltration of neoplastic cells. This review focuses in the diagnosis and treatment of metastatic complications of cancer involving plexi, peripheral nerves and muscles.
