How would you manage resuming successful abatacept therapy in a refractory RA patient undergoing resection of stage 1 lung adenocarcinoma?

You can restart the abatacept once the patient has recovered from surgery. There is no signal for increased new solid tumors on abatacept, and you would expect the patient to be cured after resection of a stage 1 tumor.
