Cancer morbidity in rheumatoid arthritis.
A consecutive series of 489 patients with rheumatoid arthritis seen at the centre was studied to determine their cancer morbidity. Overall the 36 cancers diagnosed in the series between 1964 and 1981 were not significantly in excess of the expected number, but there was a highly significant excess of tumours of the reticuloendothelial system. The excess was mainly due to 6 observed cases of lym...
متن کاملMorbidity of rheumatoid arthritis.
an early stage (Hench, 1949). Hitherto it has not been practicable to establish the incidence of spontaneous arrest with any degree of certainty (Snorrason, 1950). In investigating the morbidity of the lesion, one of our chief difficulties has been to obtain a sufficiently large amount of patient material controlled by the same criteria (preferably by the same examiner) for a long period. Vario...
متن کاملCancer Morbidity in Rheumatoid Arthritis: Role of Estrogen Metabolites
Estrogen metabolites have been implicated in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and cancer, although the mechanism remains unestablished. Some estrogen metabolites, which are used for the assessment of cancer risk, play an important role in RA. The pathways by which malignancies associated with RA remain elusive. Possible mechanism involves enzymatic or nonenzymatic oxidation of estrogen into catecholes...
متن کاملRheumatoid Cachexia Revisited: A Metabolic Co-Morbidity in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease in which pro-inflammatory cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, play a crucial role. The chronic inflammation, combined with reduced physical activity, leads to muscle wasting whereas fat mass would be maintained; the resulting abnormal metabolic state is described as rheumatoid cachexia. Since the loss of muscle volume w...
متن کاملComparing bone mineral density in rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis
Background: Changes in patients’ bone mineral density (BMD) is one of the problems in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, which can be due to the use of corticosteroid drugs to reduce patients' symptoms or due to the aging process in patients. In this study, we decided to compare BMD in patients with psoriatic arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Methods: This study as a cross-sectional descrip...
