[Cholecystectomy and colorectal cancer. Does cholecystectomy increase the risk of developing colon cancer?]
Problem:
Within the course of the last ten years, a possible association between carcinoma of the colon and prior cholecystectomy has been discussed.
Methodology:
In 342 patients with colorectal carcinoma, and in a control group of 182 patients with gastric carcinoma, the rate of prior cholecystectomy was investigated.
Results:
The cholecystectomy rate in the case of colon carcinoma patients was 7.9, and thus differed non-significantly from that of the control group (5.5%). At least in our case material, no relationship was found between cholecystectomy and carcinoma of the colon. The results reported in other studies are compared and discussed.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.

Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
