This is a small study that suggests that people who get MG over the age of 50 are at much higher risk for cancers (not counting thymomas).

Medscape requires registration, but it's free.

I was diagnosed at age 56 so this info is concerning. Thanks for the post.
I will be sure to keep up with my screenings

Sorry to pass on bad news--but I figured it might make us more diligent with our screening, like you say, so it was worth posting. But take a careful look at the study--it seemed awfully small to me.

I don't think that the study considered whether the patients were on immunosuppressive therapy or not.
