Introduction
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects multiple joints throughout the body.
Rheumatoid arthritis has the highest incidence of all rheumatic diseases, and there is almost 1 RA patient in every 200 people, which means that in a country with a large population such as China, the total number of rheumatoid arthritis patients is very large
In the past, due to the backward diagnosis and treatment technology and lack of understanding of the disease, many patients could not get early diagnosis and treatment, and they did not go to the doctor until the joint deformity appeared
Rheumatoid Arthritis and Cancer Similarities
Why do some people think that rheumatoid arthritis is "undead cancer"?
1 are diseases caused by immune system disorders
Each of us has an elite defense force that is powerful, responsive, finely divided and coordinated to fight—the immune system
2 similar psychological problems
The 2-year disability rate of rheumatoid arthritis can be as high as 50% if left untreated
3 medicines used
With the development of diagnosis and treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, after the diagnosis is confirmed, patients may receive non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), traditional disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (csDMARDs), biological agents according to the severity of the disease and treatment needs.
Rheumatoid arthritis is not "cancer",
It is a chronic disease that requires rational medication to maintain
Despite all the similarities mentioned above, rheumatoid arthritis and cancer are fundamentally different
In terms of drug treatment, rheumatoid arthritis treatment drugs are more abundant and cheaper than tumor treatment drugs
From the above description of rheumatoid arthritis, it is not difficult to find that although RA has some similarities with cancer, the disease characteristics are different: RA generally does not directly threaten the life of patients.
Epilogue
Rheumatoid arthritis was once called the "immortal cancer", but its nature is different from cancer
