To my knowledge, there is not a lot of data on the interaction of adalimumab or other similar meds and radiation therapy. I am increasingly seeing this in my practice, however, for patients with psoriatic or rheumatoid arthritis.
I discuss with patients that we have limited data on potential interactions and will usually check with their rheumatologist as well. Usually, the recommendation is to continue during RT while discussing with the patient.
