Prevention and Prognosis

  • Chapter
Colitis-Associated Cancer

Abstract

Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are at high risk of developing colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CA-CRC), and the risk increases with a longer disease duration and is greater in those with continuous inflammation without remission. Thus, surveillance colonoscopy is recommended for patients with IBD because of the rapid progression and extension of CA-CRC, the poor prognosis of patients diagnosed at a younger age, and the higher mortality of CA-CRC than sporadic CRC. Although the efficacy of surveillance for decreasing CA-CRC mortality remains unclear, the early detection of CA-CRC results in a survival rate of these patients similar to that of patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) who develop sporadic CRC. However, UC patients with advanced CRC have a poorer prognosis than non-UC patients with sporadic CRC. In patients with Crohn’s disease, surveillance colonoscopy is difficult because of the presence of colonic strictures, such that most CRCs are diagnosed in the advanced stage and the prognosis is worse than in UC or sporadic CRC. Based on the theory of an inflammation-driven carcinogenic process as a causative factor of CA-CRC, treatment for IBD aimed at reducing inflammation may decrease the cancer risk.
