Malignant neoplasms in patients with rheumatoid arthritis treated with tumor necrosis factor inhibitors, tocilizumab, abatacept, or rituximab in clinical practice: A nationwide cohort study from Sweden
JAMA Internal Medicine Nov 09, 2017
Wadstrom H, et al. - Herein, the authors probed into the risk of incident malignant neoplasms in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treated with biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs [bDMARDs]. Any significant variation was not found in the overall risk of cancer among patients with RA initiating tumor necrosis factor inhibitor (TNFi) as first or second bDMARD, tocilizumab, abatacept, or rituximab compared to the biologic drugÂnaive, conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (csDMARDs)-treated patients with RA. However, altered risks for specific cancer types, or those with longer latency, could not be excluded.
