We aimed to assess the prevalence of cancer in our cohort and to explore possible associations with clinical, immunological and treatment characteristics.</p> <p><strong>Methods: </strong>Our retrospective monocentric cohort study of patients with SSc recorded prevalent and incident cases of malignancy, including those diagnosed within 3 years of the SSc onset (defined as cancer-associated scleroderma) and sought associations with the clinical characteristics and the serum autoantibody profiling performed using RNA and protein immunoprecipitation, Western-blot, immunoblot and ELISA at the time of SSc diagnosis, prior to any specific treatment.</p> <p><strong>Results: </strong>Among 290 patients with SSc, the overall prevalence of cancer was 20%, with 8% of cases being cancer-associated scleroderma. Both conditions were more frequent in elderly patients and in patients with positive anti-Ro52 or anti-U3-RNP. Cancer-associated scleroderma was significantly more prevalent among patients negative for both anti-centromere (ACA) and anti-topoisomerase-1 (TOPO1) antibodies, especially in the case of diffuse SSc. Immunosuppressants were not significantly associated with cancer. Patients triple negative for ACA, TOPO1 and anti-RNA polymerase III antibodies had a significantly higher risk of breast cancer.</p> <p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Cancer surveillance should be particularly careful in patients with diffuse SSc, increased age at disease onset and without classical SSc-related autoantibodies.</p>
