Abstract
BACKGROUND Epidemiological data reveal that 45% of persons with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) in France are more than 50 years. This population more than 50 is more susceptible to cancer, and this risk may be increased by frequent use of immunosuppressive drugs. Consequently, concerns have arisen about the potential increased risk of cancer in PwMS and how patients should be screened and managed in terms of cancer risk. OBJECTIVE To develop evidence-based recommendations to manage the coexistence of cancer and multiple sclerosis (MS). METHODS The French Group for Recommendations in MS collected articles from PubMed and university databases covering the period January 1975 through June 2022. The RAND/UCLA method was employed to achieve formal consensus. MS experts comprehensively reviewed the full-text articles and developed the initial recommendations. A group of multidisciplinary health care specialists then validated the final proposal. RESULTS Five key questions were addressed, encompassing various topics such as cancer screening before or after initiating a disease-modifying therapy (DMT), appropriate management of MS in the context of cancer, recommended follow-up for cancer in patients receiving a DMT, and the potential reintroduction of a DMT after initial cancer treatment. A strong consensus was reached for all 31 recommendations. CONCLUSION These recommendations propose a strategic approach to managing cancer risk in PwMS.

Abstract
Ocrelizumab is a humanized CD20 monoclonal antibody which was approved for management of Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS) and Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (PPMS) in 2017. We present 2 patients, a 67-year-old woman with history of PPMS and a 42-year-old woman with RRMS, who were started on ocrelizumab and were diagnosed with invasive ductal cell breast carcinoma after 2 years of ocrelizumab infusion followed by discontinuation of the drug. Large trials conducted for ocrelizumab showed malignancies in a total of 4 cases with RRMS in OPERA 1 trial conducted over 2 years from 2011 to 2013 (breast cancer, renal cell carcinoma, and melanomas) and in 11 cases with PPMS seen in ORATORIO trial conducted in 2017. There are currently no other published case reports of breast cancer in setting of ocrelizumab use for MS outside of large trials on literature review.

Abstract
In the 1990s, the first disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) for multiple sclerosis (MS) were injectable immunomodulatory (IM) drugs, including four different interferon-β preparations and glatiramer acetate. Since 2000, more than 15 immunosuppressant (IS) drugs have been used, with a more or less specific action on inflammation. These include monoclonal antibodies targeting CTL4, the integrin receptor, the interleukin (IL)-2 receptor, CD19, CD20, CD52, and the sphingosine 1 phosphate family. The association between MS and cancer has long been investigated but has led to conflicting results. No studies have reported an increased risk of cancer after long-term exposure to IM. Several reports suggest an increase in cancer risk among MS patients treated with IS such as mitoxantrone, azathioprine and cyclophosphamide. Because of their action on the immune system, and due to a lack of available long-term data, a special warning of the potential risk of cancer accompanies the use of recent IS such as cladribine, fingolimod, natalizumab or alemtuzumab. In most studies, factors such as diet, smoking, solar radiation, and hormone therapy, all of which influence cancer risk, have not been considered. For fingolimod, natalizumab, alemtuzumab, dimethyl fumarate, teriflunomide, daclizumab and ocrelizumab, risk management plans outlined by regulatory agencies are mandatory. They allow prospective detection of some red flags, in particular those for the increased risk of cancer. We review the current evidence behind the increased risk of malignancy in MS patients receiving DMTs, and provide an overview of the DMTs that are currently in use and those in clinical trials. The known risks and benefits of these therapies will be considered.

Abstract
Purpose We performed a pharmacovigilance study of 10 drugs used in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RR-MS). Our aim was to provide an overview of the safety of these drugs by the evaluation of reported expected and unexpected adverse reactions. Patients and methods We collected and analyzed adverse drug reactions from RR-MS patients belonging to four hospitals in three Italian regions, for a period of 24 months. Results We received a total of 411 adverse reactions, of which 84.18% were expected and only 15.82% were unexpected. We found no correlation between the number of reported adverse reactions and the route of administration (injectable/intravenous drugs N=224, oral drugs N=187). However, oral agents have caused a greater number of unexpected moderate-to-severe adverse reactions while, in injectable and infusion therapies, they have been evaluated as mild–moderate adverse reactions. Conclusion Our results underscore the importance of monitoring the safety profile of multiple sclerosis therapies, with particular attention to oral agents that have been introduced later in the clinical practice.
