The purpose of this study is to study whether immune cells capable of killing tumors that express proteins associated with paraneoplastic neurologic syndrome (PNS) can be found in small cell lung cancer and ovarian cancer patients. The presence of these cells may play a role in tumor immunity in these patients. The protocol involves neurological examinations and collection of blood.
