Background:
Malignant neoplasms are a well-recognized global public health concern, with significant impacts on human health and quality of life. The interplay between tumors and autoimmune rheumatic diseases is complex, and the resulting tumor-associated rheumatic diseases represent a rare and intricate group of conditions that occur in the context of malignant tumors. In addition, various rheumatic diseases can arise as a consequence of oncology treatment. These diseases present with intricate clinical manifestations and pathological features, often rendering them challenging to diagnose and impacting patients' quality of life. Despite this, they have yet to be fully recognized.
Methods:
This article presents a literature review of published original articles and review articles concerning paraneoplastic rheumatic syndromes and rheumatic diseases associated with cancer treatment. We conducted a comprehensive literature search in PubMed, Web of Science and Google Scholar databases, excluding duplicated and irrelevant studies. In cases of duplicated research, we selected articles with higher impact factors for the review.
Results:
This review focuses on the clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of paraneoplastic rheumatic diseases, as well as the pathogenesis of these diseases. Additionally, we summarize the autoimmune rheumatic diseases associated with cancer treatment. Ultimately, the goal of this review is to enhance recognition and improve the management of autoimmune rheumatic diseases related to tumors.
