Does a higher ana titre (1:2560) make it more likely to be cancer than an autoimmune disease?

No No: + ANA is not a sign of cancer. It is more likely an autoimmune disease BUT most people with a + ANA do not have an autoimmune disease

ANA measured 1:640; then follow up 1:1280. Both DENSE fine speckled. Rheum says negative for autoimmune disease, symptoms likely fibro. How can you just ignore an ANA that high? Is it true DFS doesnt indicate anything?
