MTX reduce risk of Cancer? | Arthritis Information

Has anyone ever read any medical studies that would suggest that patients who have RA and on Methotrexate have a lesser chance of developing cancer?  I was just wondering if taking MTX daily for years, would it reduce the risk of getting cancer?

I'm hoping when biologics have been out 20 years someone will have been tracking many patients and be able to tell us stuff like that about these new miracle drugs.

What was this group again? People have posted about them before. My rhuemy told me to read some their stuff when I was trying to decide if it would be worse to be treated or just go on the way I had for nearly 2 decades.  

Wow, that is interesting. I know MTX is used to treat some forms of cancer, I
guess this would make sense.
