Sacroiliitis in cancer patients: a review of current literature

The sacroiliac (SI) joint can be directly jeopardized by malignancy and indirectly by ergonomic changes of pelvic obliquity that introduces uneven weight distribution. Cancer treatment can exacerbate preexisting arthritis and cause diffuse arthropathies, but these are unlikely to be isolated to the...

Summary:The sacroiliac (SI) joint can be directly jeopardized by malignancy and indirectly by ergonomic changes of pelvic obliquity that introduces uneven weight distribution. Cancer treatment can exacerbate preexisting arthritis and cause diffuse arthropathies, but these are unlikely to be isolated to the SI joint. The cancer population is exposed to unique stressors that might facilitate development of SI joint pain that includes cancer itself and therapy-related complications. Like the general population, cancer patients are subject to aging and BMI and musculoskeletal structural changes that affect symmetric body functioning and posturing. No frank association between sacroiliitis and cancer has been identified. Therefore, we believe there is a need to characterize any relationship between cancer and SI joint dysfunction and pain.
