Arthritis drugs increase skin cancer risk?
Rheumatoid arthritis is one of the most messy diseases to deal with on a daily basis for most. The inability to physically grasp objects with force and the pain can be a nightmare for many. Consequently, pain drugs are up front in the medicine cabinets of most sufferers.Drugs such as etanercept or infliximab, however, may be putting themselves at an increased risk for skin cancer. The risk increase is slight, but it's still there (according to research released this week).
In what I rarely hear from drug companies and especially researchers, the report stated that the risk was probably not significant enough to outweigh the benefits of taking both drugs to combat rheumatoid arthritis on a daily basis.
