Rheumatoid Arthritis: The Year in Review

Final thoughts

We obviously cannot cover every single significant event or discovery in the RA world in 2017, but we believe that the 5 previous mark an important change in the RA treatment landscape. Many of these discoveries are still in their preliminary phrase, which means that further research must be done to solidify the findings and researchers must figure out a way to incorporate the information into RA treatments as a whole. Still though, these promising breakthroughs give us hope that RA treatments will become even better in 2018, and RA patients may be able to increase their quality of life substantially.
