TNF ~ new reports ??

[Crohn's Mom]

I received this link in an email from Drugs.com today.
Is it saying/suggesting that the reported cases of T-Cell Lymphoma in adolescents is increasing now ??
I'm hoping it doesn't and I am just confused...

Hi,
It isn't saying there has been any increase in reported cases (since the April report). They are really trying to be more vigilant in gathering data.
It's quite tragic that younger people are more at risk from the anti TNF-alpha and other Crohn's immune suppressant drugs (even though the risks are very small.)
