Popis: No studies on idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) have investigated the prognostic impact of extrapulmonary cancers in patients with IPF. We aimed to determine the prognostic impact of malignancies in patients with IPF. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients diagnosed with IPF between 2001 and 2015. Patients were divided into three groups: IPF without cancer (n = 440), IPF with lung cancer (n = 69), and IPF with extrapulmonary cancer (n = 70). Of the 579 patients with IPF, 139 (24%) had cancer; the three most common types were lung (11.9%), gastric (2.4%), and colorectal (1.9%). Survival was significantly worse in patients with lung cancer than in those without cancer (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.83, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.35–2.48) or those with extrapulmonary cancer (HR = 1.70, 95% CI, 1.14–2.54). The rate of hospitalisation for cancer-related complications was significantly higher in IPF patients with lung cancer than in those with extrapulmonary cancer. The annual rates of decline in percent predicted forced vital capacity and diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide did not differ among the groups. Physicians should pay attention to the development and progression of cancer and its prognostic impact in patients with IPF.
