» P_Al - FMS and Cancer

In response to FMS and Cancer posted by tpme:


I have found further studies on the possible link between FMS and cancer. It seems that the link is not quite settled. Two recent studies with 1361 and 6565 persons respectively found opposite results.

J Rheumatol. 2007 Jan;34(1):201-6.
Arthritis Rheum. 2003 Jun;48(6):1686-92

If there is a link, the cause of this susceptibility is also not established. However, the second study has examined some potential leads, all of which appear to be dead ends at this time. These include decreased physical activity and abnormal levels of insulin-like growth factor and cortisol.
