This is an interesting subject. My ANA is tested yearly due to me having and auto-immune disease called Sjogren's Syndrome. I have often wondered if having Sjogren's or any of the auto-immune diseases pre-disposes one to getting cancer and all I could find was that there is a slight increase in Lymphoma for Sjogren patients. When it comes to things like this, does medical science really have all the answers? My guess is no because sometimes things aren't tracked or they just plain old don't know yet. Next time I go to my rheumatologist I will ask him what he knows and ask him to probe deeper this time.
