Nope, it's not common knowledge, and one study is certainly not bulletproof. The theory makes sense though. I wouldn't bank that anyone is going to be telling people on these regimens they can't get cancer, because most of those drugs cause cancer themselves. Double edged sword.

Cancer seems to be less of an issue with biologic DMARDs and with NSAIDs there are bigger cardiovascular issues to be worried about. But either way it’s trading bad outcomes.

My observation of online communities for chronic diseases is that there are some people that read new research papers and share new findings because there’s so little else they can do. Knowledge in those communities spreads fast (but so does bullshit unfortunately).
