This study highlights the importance of long-term cancer surveillance in patients with AAV/PAN and defines time frames of excess risk for specific cancers, which may help inform guidance on cancer screening. Furthermore, it indicates the need for skin surveillance for melanoma in addition to nonmelanoma skin cancers in patients who have greater environmental ultraviolet exposure, such as in Australia.
