No malignancies were observed in these sites: liver, other thorax, bone, ovary, other genitourinary, ophthalmologic, multiple myeloma, myeloproliferative syndrome, myelodysplastic syndrome. Comparisons were not performed for the following sites with fewer than 5 malignancies per cohort (number of events after incidence in PsA/ index in non-PsA): head/neck (2/3), gastric (1/1), pancreatic (1/1), colon/rectal (1/3), other digestive (0/4), lung (2/9), soft tissue (0/1), melanoma (1/1), DCIS (1/1), Other gynecological (1/2), kidney (0/1), bladder (0/1), central nervous system (2/1), lymphoma (2/4), leukemia (4/1) and other (1/1).
