- JAK inhibitors did not significantly increase overall cancer incidence in patients with RA compared with other biologics.
- There is an elevated risk of developing keratinocyte cancer, especially basal cell carcinoma.
- The addition of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) may offer cardiovascular benefits.
- Further research is needed to confirm the potential cardiovascular benefits of GLP-1 RAs.
- The findings support the need for continued dermatologic monitoring among JAKi users, particularly those with a history of skin cancer.
- A subgroup analysis indicated no statistically significant differences in cancer incidence among patients with RA aged 50 years and older with at least one cardiovascular risk factor.
