Abstract
Individuals with Crohn’s disease (CD) of the large intestine develop colorectal cancer at an increased rate compared to the general population. The exact magnitude of increased risk is unknown. The prevalence of dysplasia at 25 years has been reported to range between 0.5% to 25% and the risk for colorectal cancer may be six-fold that of the general population. Colorectal cancer in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) appears to develop via a pathway that deviates from the well characterized adenoma-carcinoma sequence of sporadic colorectal cancer and may progress rapidly, skipping steps seen with sporadic colorectal cancer.
