(2006) Solid malignancies among patients in the Wegener's granulomatosis etanercept trial. _Arthritis Rheum_ 54: 1608–1618 Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) induces apoptosis in several tumor types. TNF inhibitors have become a mainstay of treatment in many inflammatory conditions, although it has been suggested that these agents could increase patients' risk of developing cancer. To date, these concerns have principally focused on lymphoma; however, Stone _ et al_. now report that patients treated with both a TNF inhibitor and cyclophosphamide might have an increased risk of developing solid tumors, beyond the risk attributable to cyclophosphamide alone.
