the relationship between MG and other neoplasms remains unclear&#46; Different studies suggest an increase in risk of cancer among MG patients which ranges from 1&#46;7&#37; to 15&#46;4&#37;&#46; In contrast&#44; this risk is estimated at 2&#46;78&#37; for the general population&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0020"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span></a> The variability among studies may be due to the heterogeneity of samples and follow-up times for MG patients&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0010"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2&#44;5&#44;6</span></a> The study with the largest sample size to date&#44; 2614 MG patients&#44; showed an increased risk of extrathymic neoplasm incidence of 1&#46;38 compared to a control cohort during a follow-up period of 8 years&#46; Incidence in the general population is 4&#46;82 new cases of extrathymic neoplasms per 1000 inhabitants per year&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0035"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">7</span></a></p><p id="par0040" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">This increased tendency to present cancer&#44; found in many other autoimmune diseases&#44;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0040"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">8&#8211;10</span></a> is due to an immune dysregulation that elicits both the autoimmune cascade and limits the defensive response to cancer cells&#46; Studies do not show a temporal association between cancer and MG&#44; or associations with any specific tumour type&#46; This cannot therefore be regarded as a paraneoplastic phenomenon&#44; unlike the case of small cell lung cancer in Eaton-Lambert syndrome&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0005"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1&#44;11</span></a> Liu et al&#46; reported that although MG patients presented a higher risk of presenting extrathymic malignancies&#44; they showed no specific susceptibility to certain malignancies&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0035"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">7</span></a> That team showed that the most frequent extrathymic malignancy was breast cancer&#44; which is also true in the general population&#46; Rather than being a direct relationship&#44; the association consists of an increased risk of neoplasms at different locations&#44; even with wide time intervals&#44; as we observed in cases 1 and 3&#46;</p><p id="par0045" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Of the different extrathymic malignancies in MG patients&#44; we can categorise haematological malignancies as especially frequent&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0060"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">12&#8211;15</span></a> Causes may be secondary to immune-suppressing treatments or&#44; as some studies highlight&#44; due to an intrinsic involvement of lymphocytes which undergo chronic stimulation&#44; a process that in turn increases the probability of mutations&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0080"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">16</span></a> Finally&#44; we should highlight that no cases of MG associated with simultaneous gastric cancer have been reported to date&#46;</p><p id="par0050" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">We should not forget this increased risk&#44; especially among the subgroup of older patients who present more severe clinical manifestations or thymoma&#44; or those on immunomodulatory treatment&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0010"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2&#44;17</span></a> Therefore we suggest using cancer screening methods in MG patients&#44; bearing in mind those already used in the general population&#46; Doctors must ensure that they are performed correctly and watch closely for any warning symptoms&#46;</p><p id="par0055" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In conclusion&#44; our data suggest that extrathymic malignancies may be associated with MG&#46; Whether or not co-presence of MG and other extrathymic malignancies represents a real association has yet to be confirmed&#46; Meanwhile&#44; we should consider whether it is necessary to review cancer screening methods&#44; especially in the case of patients with generalised late-onset MG who are treated with immunomodulatory drugs&#46;</p></span>"
