Association of anti-retinal autoantibodies with 9 most common cancers in cancer-associated retinopathy (CAR)

Cancer Incidence of cancer Most frequent AAbs against retinal markers Time from AAbs detection to cancer diagnosis Major symptoms and findings
Breast 22% (96/441) Enolase, GAPDH, CAII, recoverin Mostly after or at the time of diagnosis Photopsia/photophobia, VA loss, ffERG dysfunction, pigmentary changes
Gynecological (ovarian, endometrial, uterine, cervical) 7% (33/441) GAPDH, aldolase, enolase Can precede, mostly after Progressive course, blurry vision, photopsia, VA loss, VF defect, retinal thinning
Lung (SCCL, NSCCL, adenocarcinoma) 11% (47/441) Enolase, p62, CAII Can precede Sudden onset, color vision loss, retinal thinning, vascular abnormalities
Colon 5% (21/441) Aldolase, CAII, enolase, (arrestin, recoverin) Can precede Sudden onset, progressive course, blurry vision, central vision loss, color vision loss, cone-ffERG dysfunction, retinal thinning
Prostate 8% (35/441) CAII, recoverin Can precede Progressive course, nyctalopia, VF defects, ERG dysfunction, attenuated vessels
Thyroid 4% (16/441) Enolase, arrestin At the time diagnosis or after Photopsia/photophobia, peripheral vision loss, VA loss, rod-ffERG dysfunction, retinal thinning
Melanoma 18% (78/441) Enolase, CAII, arrestin After Gradual loss, nyctalopia, VA loss, rod-ERG dysfunction
Lymphomas 4% (17/441) Arrestin, Enolase, p62 After VA loss, VF loss
Bladder 3% (12/441) CAII, Enolase, GADPH At the time diagnosis or after Progressive course, VA loss, ERG dysfunction; color vison loss

VA = visual acuity, ERG = electroretinogram; VF = visual field
