Excerpt

The development of colorectal cancer (CRC) in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has long been recognized as a complication of chronic colitis. Nearly a century ago, Dr. Burrell Crohn described carcinomatous degeneration of the bowel as the terminal stage of ulcerative colitis (UC) [1]. While data from mid-twentieth century suggested markedly high rates of CRC, there has been a steady decline in estimated incidence rates in recent decades, with a 2012 meta-analysis of population-based studies estimating 2.4-fold increased risk compared with the general population [2]. …
