A member asked:
Is there a link between a high ana and cancer ? cbc ok metabolic ok. thyroid ok. and lupus panel neg?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: It is unlikely that a high ANA level by itself increase you risk of cancer. However if you have autoimmune disease like sjrojens for example it does have a increase risk of lymphoma or a cancer if the blood and lymph nodes. That could give a high ANA level as well.
