Ms CH - IBD history
• 57yo F, with Crohn’s colitis, diagnosed in 2002
• Initially treated with prednisone, then tried : – Asacol (partial response and finally a RASH)
– Imurek - HEPATITIS
– MTX- PANCREATITIS (unusual ?)
– Ciproxin: myositis, Penicilin : hives.
• In remission > 1 year on infliximab stopped due to Breast cancer in nov. 2009.
• Maintained in remission since then on chemotherapy
15
Current IBD situation
HPI :
• She has minimal symptoms: feels “bloated”.
• 1BM/d no mucus or blood.
• Harvey Bradshaw Index :0
Lab values (Jan 26) : ESR 17, CRP 4.6, isolated incr. ALT 34.
Normal CBC and Renal function
(previously : ESR 8, CRP 0.3, ALT 31)
Colonoscopy (January 2011) + pathology:
- Mild to moderate active colitis of the descending colon and sigmoid.
16
Summary
• 14 months after stopping Infliximab due to breast cancer
• Mild to moderate active colitis (Endo, histo, biologicallly)
• Treatment options are limited :
– 1) Solid tumor Risk of recurrence in the setting of immunosuppression.
– 2) Numerous drug intolerances ( pancreatitis - very rare for MTX, Rashes on 5ASA and antibiotics, Hepatitis on Imuran).
• OPTIONS ?:
17
Options
• (A) Sulfasalazine ?
• (B) Rifaximine ?
• (C) Remicade or other anti-TNF agents ?
• (D ) MTX low dose ?

Anti-TNFs and neoplasia
• What the inherent risks of cancer with antiTNFs ?
• Which situations are at :
–« No » risk …
–Moderate risk - risk /benefit
– high risk ?
• If restart, when ?
20
General considerations
• Role of TNF alpha :
Risk of development/
progression of malignancy
• Moreover, studies in murine models of colitis showed that these
mechanisms are TNF-dependent and appear critical to
maintaining tumors in a dormant state.

-2- Natural killer cell and CD8

of malignancy in patients receiving anti-TNF therapy
• In Rheumatoid Arthritis : OR 3.3 (95%CI, 1.2-9.1)
• (Metanalysis from RCTs : Bongartz T et al, JAMA 2006)
• But, in Inflammatory Bowel Disease : no increased risk of
malignancies (Peyrin-Biroulet L et al, CGH 2008)
• However, difficult to prove a link between exposure and tumor development.

Risks of Cancer – in multicenter studies

treated with infliximab: A long-term multicenter matched pair study.
Biancone L, Orlando A, Kohn A, et al. Gut. 2006;55:228–233.
• 12 referral center in Italy – two publication
from 1999 to 2004 & 1999 to 2008.
• F/u time 74 months (range 12–114)
CD-IFX: 8/221; 3.61% versus CD-C: 9/221; 4.07%
No specific histotype of cancer appeared associated
with infliximab use.
46
Conclusion
• Standard IBD patient +/- history of cancer
The risk is almost always outweighted by the benefits of
the treatment!
• Risk: Lymphoma & Non Melanoma Skin Cancers
• Solid tumors ? (other than basal cell carcinoma and resected squamous cell Ca),
Exceptions? : particulary anxious patients with a strong family hx

• No study has specifically asked whether TNF blockade
increase the risk of recurrent cancer in patient with previous

• Consequently, it is unclear if whether treatments with anti-

• Recommendations from the British Society of

• WGOC UEGW 2008

• Data from the British society of Rheumatology

• 154 patients with previous malignancy and RA
• Six cases = 4% vs 1.6% (=158/9844), OR 2.5 (1.2-5.8)
• Three cases in patients with > 10 years free of disease

The general answer remains no.
Because 10 years is arbitrary…

• Risk –benefit balance

• Discontinue ineffective

Options
• We discussed the following remaining options (in order of preference):
• (A) Sulfasalazine - had shown some effect in mild to moderate CD
colitis and for IBD associated arthralgies.
• (B) Rifaximine - antibiotics not reimbursed for CD, but recent trials
showed a good efficacy (around 60%), also less sides effects as it is not
absorbed by the gut.
• (C) Remicade or other anti-TNF agents - taking the risks considering
the benefit of being in remission (not worth considering right now because she
is almost asymptomatic)
• (D ) MTX low dose - because pancreatitis is a rare but not
unknown side effect for MTX, and MTX has good antineoplasiques effects.
However, it remains the less likely candidate.
