To show cancer association is a risk factor other than statin exposure for anti-3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase autoantibody-positive (anti-HMGCR Ab+) myopathy.
We analyzed the clinical features and courses of 33 patients (23 female and 10 male) with anti-HMGCR Ab+ myopathy among 621 consecutive patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies.
Among the 33 patients, 7 (21%) were statin-exposed and 26 were statin-naive. In relation with cancer, there were 12 patients (statin-exposed, n = 4) with cancers detected within 3 years of myopathy diagnosis (cancer association), 3 patients (all statin-naive) with cancers detected more than 3 years before myopathy diagnosis (cancer history), 10 cancer-free patients followed up for more than 3 years (all statin-naive), and 8 patients without cancer detection but followed up for less than 3 years (statin-exposed, n = 3). Therefore, 12 patients with cancer association (36%) formed a larger group than that of 7 statin-exposed patients (21%). Among 12 patients with cancer association, 92% had cancer detection within 1 year of myopathy diagnosis (after 1.3 years in the remaining patient), 83% had advanced cancers, and 75% died of cancers within 2.7 years. Of interest, 1 patient with cancer history had sustained increase in creatine kinase level over 12 years from cancer removal to the development of weakness.
Patients with cancer association formed a large group with poor prognosis in our series of patients with anti-HMGCR Ab+ myopathy. The close synchronous occurrence of cancers and myopathies suggested that cancer association is one of the risk factors for developing anti-HMGCR Ab+ myopathy.
证明癌症关联是抗3-羟基-3-甲基戊二酰辅酶A还原酶自身抗体阳性(抗HMGCR Ab+)肌病除他汀类药物暴露之外的一个危险因素。
我们分析了621例连续的特发性炎性肌病患者中33例(23例女性和10例男性)抗HMGCR Ab+肌病患者的临床特征和病程。
在这33例患者中,7例(21%)曾使用他汀类药物,26例未使用过他汀类药物。关于癌症,有12例患者(曾使用他汀类药物的4例)在肌病诊断后3年内检测出癌症(癌症关联),3例患者(均未使用过他汀类药物)在肌病诊断前3年以上检测出癌症(癌症病史),10例无癌症患者随访超过3年(均未使用过他汀类药物),8例未检测出癌症但随访时间不足3年(曾使用他汀类药物的3例)。因此,12例有癌症关联的患者(36%)比7例曾使用他汀类药物的患者(21%)构成的群体更大。在12例有癌症关联的患者中,92%在肌病诊断后1年内检测出癌症(其余1例在1.3年后检测出),83%为进展期癌症,75%在2.7年内死于癌症。有趣的是,1例有癌症病史的患者从癌症切除到出现肌无力的12年中肌酸激酶水平持续升高。
在我们的抗HMGCR Ab+肌病患者系列中,有癌症关联的患者构成了一个预后不良的大群体。癌症与肌病的紧密同步发生提示癌症关联是发生抗HMGCR Ab+肌病的危险因素之一。
