some of them you have to take with an immunomodulator to suppress the possibility of antibodies, and those increase the risks of lymphoma and some other stuff.

And the immunomodulotors(thiopurine) comes with an 2x risk of skincancer and 3x lymphoma (monotherapy). anti-TNF comes with an 3x associated risk of lymphoma (monotherapy). Combined it’s doubled (6x risk of lymphoma) Integrin Receptor Antagonist are not associated with any increase of cancer.
