lüll Malignancies in autoimmune rheumatic diseases - a mini-review Szekanecz Z; Szekanecz E; Bako G; Shoenfeld YGerontology 2011[]; 57 (1): 3-10Paraneoplastic symptoms, caused by a malignancy, but not directly related to invasion by the tumor or its metastases, are the result of a wide variety of tumor-derived biologic mediators like hormones, peptides, antibodies, cytotoxic lymphocytes, autocrine and paracrine mediators. Systemic inflammatory rheumatic diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, scleroderma or dermatomyositis, may increase the risk for the development of malignancies, predominantly lymphoproliferative disorders. Immunosuppressive drugs and biological agents may also be carcinogenic. However, sustained inflammatory activity seems to be the primary risk factor for malignancies in autoimmune diseases. Tumor-associated antigens may be produced by inflammatory cells and their production may be increased in rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases.|Aged[MESH]|Antigens, Neoplasm/biosynthesis[MESH]|Arthritis, Rheumatoid/complications[MESH]|Arthritis/complications[MESH]|Autoimmune Diseases/*complications/immunology[MESH]|Biological Products/adverse effects[MESH]|Connective Tissue Diseases/complications[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Immunosuppressive Agents/adverse effects[MESH]|Lymphoproliferative Disorders/etiology[MESH]|Metabolic Syndrome/complications[MESH]|Neoplasms, Second Primary/etiology[MESH]|Neoplasms/*etiology/immunology[MESH]|Paraneoplastic Syndromes/*etiology[MESH]|Rheumatic Diseases/*complications/immunology[MESH]|Risk Factors[MESH]|Vasculitis/complications[MESH] |
