Data is soft: I'm not convinced; it's an open question. The illnesses for when Remicade / Infliximab is used are themselves linked to increased risk for malignant lymphoma (the cancer supposedly increased by infliximab). I think the small risk is well worth it if you are sick enough to need this powerful medication. But ultimately it's your choice.

Yes: There is a small increased risk of lymphoma in patients on tnf antagonists such as remicade (infliximab). There was also be a risk in patients with a history of more advanced cases of melanoma.
