IF 6.32. International audience. BackgroundThe risk of urinary tract cancers, including kidney and bladder cancers, was increased in transplant recipients receiving thiopurines.AimTo assess the risk of urinary tract cancers in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) receiving thiopurines in the CESAME observational cohort.MethodsBetween May 2004 and June 2005, 19 486 patients with IBD, 30.1% of whom were receiving thiopurines, were enrolled. Median follow‐up was 35 months (IQR: 29–40).ResultsTen and six patients developed respectively kidney and bladder cancer. The incidence rates of urinary tract cancer were 0.48/1000 patient‐years in patients receiving thiopurines (95% CI: 0.21–0.95), 0.10/1000 patient‐years in patients who discontinued thiopurines (95% CI: 0.00–0.56) and 0.30/1000 patient‐years in patients never treated with thiopurines (95% CI: 0.12–0.62) at entry. The standardised incidence ratio of urinary tract cancer was 3.40 (95% CI: 1.47–6.71, P = 0.006) in patients receiving thiopurines, 0.64 (95% CI: 0.01–3.56, P = 0.92) in patients previously exposed to thiopurines and 1.17 (95% CI: 0.47–12.42, P = 0.78) in patients never treated with thiopurines. The multivariate‐adjusted hazard ratio (HR) of urinary tract cancer between patients receiving thiopurines and those not receiving thiopurines was 2.82 (95% CI: 1.04–7.68, P = 0.04). Other significant risk factors were male gender (HR: 3.98, 95% CI: 1.12–14.10, P = 0.03) and increasing age (HR after 65 years (ref <50): 13.26, 95% CI: 3.52–50.03, P = 0.0001).ConclusionPatients with IBD receiving thiopurines have an increased risk of urinary tract cancers. Clinically relevant excess risk is observed in older men.
