In a tertiary referral cohort of IIM patients, CT imaging has a wide range of diagnostic yield and frequency of false positives for contemporaneous cancer. These findings suggest that cancer detection strategies targeted by IIM subtype, autoantibody, and age may maximize cancer detection while minimizing the harms and costs of over-screening.
