Ana + spec pattern titer 1:640. all labs ok. lupus panel neg. elevated sed rate. 2 rheum drs dismissed it. anything else i should do? cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very unlikely: The ANA is relatively nonspecific. Why was the test done in the first place? Cancer is very unlikely in this situation.
