The incidence of any cancer was higher in patients with NFAT compared to controls (hazard ratio [HR] 1.35 95% CI 1.29-1.40; adjusted HR 1.31, 95% CI 1.26-1.37). NFAT was associated with a higher incidence of adrenal, thyroid, lung, stomach and small intestine, kidney, pancreatic, breast, and colorectal cancer. Sensitivity analyses did not change the overall results, but associations were not significantly increased after adjustment in patients with NFAT and appendicitis or gallbladder\/biliary tract\/pancreas disorders.
