title: Rheumatoid arthritis: Predicting mortality in RA: the quest for useful information.
abstract: A new study suggests that rheumatoid arthritis does not increase cancer-related mortality in patients with cancer, particularly in those with advanced stage malignancies. Could the inclusion of quantitative measures of inflammation, physical function or socioeconomic status have changed these findings?
