Put those two RF together (essentially nailing down RA pts at risk of cancer):
age >65 or ever smoked, all tofa vs TNFi: HR 1.55 (1.05-2.30)
age >65 or ever smoked, tofa 5 bid vs TNFi: HR 1.44 (0.93-2.24)
neither RF, all tofa vs TNFi: HR 1.16 (0.53-2.55)

So I guess you can look at this as you want:
Arguably, if you are <65 & a never smoker, then maybe the risk isn't there.
Once you start adding risk - maybe this is something we need to be having hard conversations with pts about.
Plenty to think about here...

There will be plenty of debate about ORAL Surveillance, as there should be.
We will see more granular data, as we should.
Whatever the case, it's hard to argue that there's no cancer risk with tofacitinib vs TNFi in RA, at least for some patients at higher risk.
