title: [Cancer diseases in patients with multiple sclerosis in the Bashkortostan Republic].
abstract: A database on patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) of the Republican center of multiple sclerosis (Ufa city) is analyzed. The database includes 1436 patients. For the period 2005-2012, 4 female patients with cancer, including 2 patients with thyroid gland cancer, 1 patient with rectum tumor and 1 patient with breast cancer, were identified. Clinical features of MS in these cases were studied. In two patients, cancer developed during the treatment with Β-interferon-1b. A possible association of cancer with MS and multiple sclerosis disease modifying drugs is discussed.
