A member asked:
Ive been reading if you have epsteinbarr virus and rheumatoid arthritis being treated with methotrexate your chances of getting lymphoma is likely, how accurate is this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't confuse "increased risk" with "likely". Even a 100% increase in risk still is rare. Probably under one chance in a thousand, I would guess. The best sources of information on this are the doctors treating you!
