- Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and colorectal cancer might share a common cause and, therefore, relatives of patients with IBD could be at increased risk of this malignant disease. We aimed to assess cancer rates among first-degree relatives of patients with IBD to try to determine whether an association between the two diseases exists.
