Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies and Malignancy Screening: A Survey of Current Practices Amongst Canadian Neurologists and Rheumatologists
Variability and knowledge gaps exist amongst neurologists and rheumatologists with regard to malignancy screening in IIM patients. The identified variability and lack of confidence may lead to lack of standardization of care, and potentially either under- or over-investigating of IIM patients for malignancy. Further research is required to better understand the optimal choice of tests and timing of repeat investigations.
