Any of several autoimmune diseases that are caused by tumor-induced perturbations of the immune system with damaging effects on various organ systems (e.g. cancer-associated retinopathy, paraneoplastic neurological syndromes, paraneoplastic cutaneous syndromes). In most cases, autoantibodies generated by antitumor immunity are responsible for the tissue injury.
