  • Title: SFEMG improvement with remission in the cancer-associated Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome.
    Author: Oh SJ.
    Journal: Muscle Nerve; 1989 Oct; 12(10):844-8. PubMed ID: 2558313.
    Abstract:
    In two patients with the Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) and small-cell lung carcinoma (SLLC), therapy for LEMS was effective when combined with cancer therapy. The serial SFEMG tests showed a corresponding improvement with remission of the LEMS and proved to be a better and earlier indicator of the changing clinical status than the repetitive nerve stimulation test. Thus, we conclude that the SFEMG is useful in the follow-up evaluation of patients with this condition.
