Respondent demographics and information on screening approach and concerns were collected using multiple choice and open\u2010response questions. There were 60 respondents (16% response rate). All available quantitative data were analysed and reported using statistical software. Qualitative data were analysed and grouped according to themes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Most respondents (93%) performed cancer screening. Significant variation was found in terms of approach to patient selection, choice of screening test, delegation of screening and repeat screening. A lack of clinical practice consensus and guideline (77%), test selection knowledge (37%), knowledge on repeated screening (53%) and the potential for harm (62%) were identified challenges in this area.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Malignancy screening in autoimmune myositis was variable among this small cohort of Australian rheumatologists. The observed differences were driven by patient factors and clinician preferences. The group identified several challenges in the cancer screening process. Further research is warranted to address these challenges, close the evidence gap and develop workable guidelines.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/imj.13556","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,7,25]],"date-time":"2017-07-25T14:22:42Z","timestamp":1500992562000},"page":"1367-1375","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Malignancy screening in autoimmune myositis among Australian rheumatologists"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"47","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2083-6492","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Katherine","family":"Dutton","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rheumatology Royal Brisbane &amp; Women's Hospital  Brisbane Queensland Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Muriel","family":"Soden","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rheumatology Townsville Hospital  Townsville Queensland Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/art.33379"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(00)03535-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s40257-015-0120-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","first-page":"722","article-title":"Prognostic factors and predictive signs of malignancy in adult dermatomyositis","volume":"123","author":"Gallais V","year":"1996","journal-title":"Ann Dermatol Venereol"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","article-title":"Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies and malignancy: a comprehensive review","volume":"52","author":"Tiniakou E","year":"2015","journal-title":"Clin Rev Allergy Immunol"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.md.0000173991.74008.b0"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2990.2010.01153.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.rdc.2011.09.007"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.autrev.2014.03.004"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00296-012-2489-y"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.autrev.2009.12.005"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1752-1947-7-112"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1212\/WNL.0000000000000546"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/brain\/aww054"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1203475416665601"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3899\/jrheum.140566"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/bjd.12564"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"633","DOI":"10.1001\/archderm.1990.01670290077012","article-title":"Prognostic factors and predictive signs of malignancy in adult dermatomyositis.
