High risk of cancer in autoimmune necrotizing myopathies: usefulness of myositis specific antibody.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cancer can occur in patients with inflammatory myopathies. This association is mainly observed in dermatomyositis, and myositis-specific antibodies have allowed us to delineate patients at an increased risk. Malignancy is also reported in patients with necrotizing autoimmune myopathies, but the risk remains elusive. Anti-signal recognition particle or anti-HMGCR antibodies have been specifically associated with necrotizing autoimmune myopathies. We aimed at screening the incidence of cancer in necrotizing autoimmune myopathies. A group of patients (n = 115) with necrotizing autoimmune myopathies with or without myositis-specific antibodies was analysed. Malignancy occurred more frequently in seronegative necrotizing autoimmune myopathies patients and in HMGCR-positive patients compared to anti-signal recognition particle positive patients. Synchronous malignancy was diagnosed in 21.4% and 11.5% of cases, respectively, and incidence of cancer was higher compared to the general population in both groups. No specific type of cancer was predominant. Patients suffering from a synchronous cancer had a decreased median survival time. Cancer screening is necessary in seronegative necrotizing autoimmune myopathies and in HMGCR-positive patients but not in anti-signal recognition particle-positive patients.

Dermatomyositis and Immune-Mediated Necrotizing Myopathies: A Window on Autoimmunity and Cancer
Autoimmune myopathies (myositides) are strongly associated with malignancy. The link between myositis and cancer, originally noticed by Bohan and Peter in their classification in 1975 (1), has been evidenced by large population-based cohort studies and a recent meta-analysis. The numerous reports of cases in which the clinical course of myositis reflects that of cancer and the short delay betwe...

Purpose of review Necrotizing myopathy exhibits a specific histological pattern, characterized by significant necrosis, with simultaneous muscle fiber regeneration, but without or with little inflammation. This histological pattern may be observed in acquired myopathies but also in muscular dystrophy. Acquired necrotizing myopathy can be secondary to drugs or toxics agents, and if not, autoimmu...

Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies are an unusual group of myopathies with annual incidence of 1 in 100 000 people in the United States. Necrotizing autoimmune myopathy comprises only 16% of this group. It usually presents with severe proximal weakness, lower extremity weakness, and severe fatigue while very rarely does it present with dysphagia and respiratory muscle weakness. Statin use, canc...
متن کاملInflammatory or necrotizing myopathies, myositides and other acquired myopathies, new insight in 2011.
As reminded by D. Hilton-Jones in this issue’s review [1], the classification of myositides is currently changing. Since 1975, when Peter and Bohan [2] defined the diagnostic criteria for polymyositis (PM) and dermatomyositis (DM), the development of new pathological tools [3,4] permitted to refine the diagnosis criteria, but also, together with fundamental research in immunology [5] and neuros...
متن کاملAnti-Jo-1 antibody-positive patients show a characteristic necrotizing perifascicular myositis.
Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies can be classified as polymyositis, dermatomyositis, immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy, sporadic inclusion body myositis or non-specific myositis. Anti-Jo-1 antibody-positive patients are assigned to either polymyositis or dermatomyositis suggesting overlapping pathological features. We aimed to determine if anti-Jo-1 antibody-positive myopathy has a specifi...
