- Title
Diagnosis and management of inflammatory bowel disease-associated neoplasia: considerations in the modern era.
- Authors
Axelrad, Jordan E.; Shah, Shailja C.
- Abstract
Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are at an increased risk of developing intestinal neoplasia—particularly colorectal neoplasia, including dysplasia and colorectal cancer (CRC)—as a primary consequence of chronic inflammation. While the current incidence of CRC in IBD is lower compared with prior decades, due, in large part, to more effective therapies and improved colonoscopic technologies, CRC still accounts for a significant proportion of IBD-related deaths. The focus of this review is on the pathogenesis; epidemiology, including disease- and patient-related risk factors; diagnosis; surveillance; and management of IBD-associated neoplasia.
