Dr. Ros finished medical study on the Faculty of Medicine,
University of Ljubljana, in 1982. In 1990, she passed master degree
on prognostic factors, disease free interval and survival in malignant
melanoma patients. In 1995, she finished training in neurology . I She
is the only neurologist in the National cancer center, covering the
population of two million inhabitants. In the last years we pay more
intention to paraneoplastic neurological disorders and gathering more
experiences in this special topic. We send material for testing for
onconeural antibodies to prof. Graus laboratory in Barcelona. On our
regular clinical neuropathologic conferences we have presented a few
patients with PNS, the last one is prepairing for publication.
Scientific Team

Research facilities
We have no laboratory for testing onconeural antibodies yet. We send
material for such testing to Barcelona.
Areas of interest:
According to rarity of such cases, we are interested in prevalence and
type of PNS in our country .
