The research aims to investigate the cancer risk associated with primary Sjögren's disease in patients and their relatives.
Conducted observational analysis comparing cancer rates in patients with primary Sjögren's disease and their relatives to the general population.
Assessed cancer incidence in both groups.
Identified an elevated cancer risk in patients with primary Sjögren's disease.
Found that close relatives also exhibited increased cancer risk compared to the general population.
Abstract
Our results suggest that not only patients with primary SjD but also their close relatives have an increased risk of developing cancer compared with the general population.
