Cancer-associated retinopathy (CAR) is a rare paraneoplastic disorder that is frequently found in patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC); it is caused by autoantibody to the 23-kDa photoreceptor protein, recoverin. We report a 9-year survivor of SCLC after concurrent chemoradiotherapy. His anti-recoverin antibody remains positive. Long-term survival without SCLC recurrence might be related to an autoimmunity mechanism that causes CAR due to the presence of anti-recoverin antibody cross-reacting with retinal cells and tumor cells. The current literature review was conducted to evaluate the impact on overall survival according to anti-recoverin antibody status. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
