Is anti-nuclear antibody positive cancer?
VerifiedHealing hearts, one patient at a time.
Antinuclear antibody positive is generally not caused by cancer.
Antinuclear antibodies are autoantibodies, not tumor markers, and do not reflect the presence or absence of cancer. Cancer is a malignant disease that may not affect molecular complexes and does not induce the production of antinuclear antibodies. Antinuclear antibody positive indicates the production of immune antibodies in the body, which is generally related to autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren's syndrome, lupus hepatitis, scleroderma, etc. The occurrence of these diseases is related to autoimmune disorders, which can induce the production of anti-nuclear antibodies, resulting in positive anti-nuclear antibodies.
