A member asked:
What medications have had proven carcinogenic effects?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chemotherapy drugs: Drugs that damage dna are potentially carcinogenic. There are all chemotherapy drugs. Typically the risks are much less than the benefits when used properly. Immunosuppressive drugs, such as those used for organ rejection or rheumatoid arthritis can cause cancer by activating a cancer causing virus (ebv).
