Remicade and Tumors

A May 2006 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that rheumatoid arthritis patients taking TNF-blocking drugs-Remicade, Humira, and Enbrel- face triple the risk of developing cancerous tumors .

Previous studies have revealed the increased risk of cancer linked to Remicade, but focused primarily on lymphoma , a cancer of the lymph nodes. However, this new study suggests that the arthritis drug significantly heightens the risk of a variety of Remicade tumors including breast, lung, skin, and gastrointestinal cancer.

Other adverse side effects of Remicade

The Mayo Clinic study also found that rheumatoid arthritis patients taking Remicade or related drugs are two times more likely to develop serious infections such as tuberculosis, pneumonia, and skin problems than those who are not taking the drug.

Patients who experience any symptoms of infection or other conditions they believe may be linked to Remicade are urged to seek medical attention.

Who is at the greatest risk for developing Remicade tumors?

According to researchers, rheumatoid arthritis patients who have a history of cancer are at the greatest risk of developing Remicade tumors. Furthermore, those who are older, sicker, and have taken higher doses of Remicade for an extended period of time are more susceptible to Remicade tumors.

If you have questions or concerns about Remicade and tumors, consult with your doctor immediately to determine if Remicade is the right for you.
