Obs study, bDMARDs & malignancy
TNFi w/lower risk than ABA/RTX/IL6i & numerically lower than JAKs
I'm a little skeptical... KM curves diverged w/~45 days, seems implausible?
Agree w/first author, possible channeling bias

Sendaydiego et al. Comparative cancer safety b/tsDMARDs. 37,026 patient database cohort study. Compared to TNFi, RTX HR 2.2 (1.5, 3.3) ABA HR 1.7 (1.3-2.4), JAKi HR 1.3 (0.9-1.9). Abstr#1678 #ACR23 @RheumNow https://t.co/bTNtaNJrln https://t.co/qQBM2F2q8N

Ritux (OR 2.2), ABA (OR 1.3), JAKi (OR 1.3) significantly increase risk of cancer vs. TNFi
Cohort of 37000+ RA pts starting bio/tsDMARDs (379 incident cancers)
True biologic effect or confounding by indication in a generally more comorbid population?

2 RA cohorts w/Breast Cancer
17% TNFi within 1yr after surgery
No diff in overall survival at 5 yr w/ TNFi or csDMARD
Trend towards better BC specific survival w/ TNFi vs. csDMARD only
Worst survival for GC>7.5mg/day
Only 2 yrs follow up
