Cancer risk from arthritis medications.

Cancer risk detailed for arthritis medications A study found greater cancer and infection risks in two rheumatoid arthritis drugs. By Lindsey Tanner Associated Press CHICAGO - Rheumatoid arthritis patients taking Humira or Remicade face triple the risk of developing several kinds of cancer and double the risk of serious infections, a study led by the Mayo Clinic found. The analysis builds on previous reports about the risks associated with Abbott Laboratories' Humira and Centocor's Remicade. But the earlier research focused mostly on one kind of cancer - lymphoma - and infections such as tuberculosis and pneumonia. The new study found an apparent link to other cancers, too, including skin, gastrointestinal, breast and lung tumors. It also says high doses appear to be the riskiest. http://www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/news/nation/14595764.htm "Our ideal is not the spirituality that withdraws from life but the conquest of life by the power of the spirit." - Aurobindo.
