Survival rates of cancer patients with and without rheumatic disease: a retrospective cohort analysis.
The researchers compared the outcomes of gastric, colon, lung, and breast cancer patients with and without rheumatic diseases. They found that rheumatoid arthritis and dermatomyositis/polymyositis seemed to be associated with a higher mortality in patients with lung or breast cancers, whereas systemic sclerosis seemed to be associated with decreased mortality in patients with lung cancer.
