dc.titleInflammatory bowel disease-related dysplasia and cancer: A referral center study in northwestern Greeceen
heal.abstractBACKGROUND: An increased risk of colorectal cancer in ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) has been reported. No data on inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)-related dysplasia and cancer is available in Greece, where the disease profile seems to be milder than that of northern Europe. METHODS: A study was conducted of 215 IBD patients (182 with UC, 33 with CD) from a referral center. Patients were followed up for 3-18 years. The prevalence of cancer and dysplasia among the IBD patients who were diagnosed in northwestern Greece was analyzed and registered. Statistical analysis was performed assuming that this IBD cohort had the same risk of developing malignancies as the general population in Greece. RESULTS: Six of the 215 patients in this IBD cohort had cancer, and 20 of 126 patients for whom bowel biopsies were available had dysplasia. Three of these cases were high-grade dysplasia. There was no significant difference in the numbers of calculated and expected cases of IBD-related cancer at any sites except for the skin [2.7 vs. 2.0]. CONCLUSIONS: This IBD cohort did not appear to have an increased risk of cancer during the time period studied. It would be interesting to re-assess the risk after the second and third decades of follow-up.en
