Rhea-AI Summary
Catalyst Pharmaceuticals announces that a study reveals a significant underdiagnosis of Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) in US patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC). While previous estimates suggest that 3% of SCLC patients have LEMS, this study found that only 0.16-0.24% of SCLC patients had LEMS claims, indicating a 10-fold underdiagnosis. The study suggests that non-specific LEMS symptoms may have been attributed to SCLC, leading to underdiagnosis. The prevalence of LEMS is now estimated to be 3,600 to 5,400 people in the US.
