INTRODUCTION

Patients with ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s colitis have an increased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). Most cases are believed to arise from dysplasia, and surveillance colonos- copy therefore is recommended to detect dysplasia. Detec- tion of dysplasia traditionally has relied on both examination of the mucosa with targeted biopsies of visible lesions and extensive random biopsies to identify invisible dysplasia ...

Update on inflammatory bowel disease in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis

Christos Tsaitas, Anysia Semertzidou and Emmanouil Sinakos. World J Hepatol. 2014 April 27; 6(4): 1780-187. Published online 2014 April 27. doi: 10.4254/wjh.v6.i4.178.

Abstract

Patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) complicated by inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) represent a distinct subset of patients with unique characteristics, which have serious clinical implications. The aim of this literature review was to shed light to the obscure clinical and molecular aspects of the two diseases combined utilizing current data available and putting issues of diagnosis and treatment into perspective. The prevalence of IBD, mainly ulcerative colitis in PSC patients is estimated to be 21%-80%, dependent on screening programs and nationality . . .  Please click here to read further
