Description
Lizhu Han and three co-authors present a 2025 case report on a rare nerve and muscle disease. Lambert-Eaton syndrome weakens muscles and often comes with a tumor. In this case the patient was a 73-year-old man who had small cell lung cancer and grew weak in speech, eating, and limb strength over time.
Tests found the nerve signs of the syndrome and two kinds of harmful antibodies in his blood. Steroid drugs did not stop the slide, so the team added efgartigimod once a week. After three weeks his symptoms had eased a lot, and antibody levels fell. The case hints the drug may help this disease too.
