Campath and malignancy
Posted: Mon May 10, 2010 7:01 am
I think that we all know the risks of an autoimmune disease if you take the campath option, but does anyone know if there is a risk of cancer? I think that in the phase 2 trial they had 3 cases of cancer in the campth group (breast, cervical and lymphoma) v. one in the control group (colon) which they felt was statistically irrelevant, although they felt that the lymphoma might be related to the campath, and then someone in the European Journal fo Neurology in 2009 talked about an increased risk of melanoma. Does anyone know anything about this?
