Abstract:
A 72-year-old male with a 4-year history of TNFalpha antagonist therapy (infliximab and etanercept) for ankylosing spondylitis was diagnosed with breast cancer. He had a family history of breast cancer. The low incidence and considerable severity of breast cancer in males, genetic risk factors, and potential role for TNFalpha antagonist therapy are discussed.

Drugs for Treatment of Crohn's Disease in IBD Using Biologic Agents: Anti-TNF
Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF), a proinflammatory cytokine, contributes significantly to the inflammation seen in Crohn's disease. It exists as soluble TNF and membrane-bound TNF, with actions mediated through TNF receptors (TNFR). TNFR activation leads to the release of proinflammatory cytokines, T-cell activation, collagen production, and leukocyte migration, all contributing to inflammation in Crohn's disease. Anti-TNF monoclonal antibodies, namely infliximab (Remicade), adalimumab (Humira),...

The disease often manifests as a painless mass in the testicles, sometimes accompanied by a sensation of heaviness or a dull ache.
