Abstract:
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD), have been considered as a risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). CRC associated with chronic intestinal inflammation has been known as "colitic cancer". Molecular mechanisms for developing of colitic cancer are different from those of sporadic CRC known as adenomacarcinoma sequence. Colitic cancer often involves dysplasia as precancerous lesions. Mutation of p53 gene is often observed not only in colitic cancer but also in dysplasia. Theory of "field cancerization" applies in colitic cancer resulting in several difficulties in clinical management of it such as multifocality and heterochrony.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Ulcerative Colitis
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.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. 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...
Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Introduction
Inflammatory Bowel Disease III: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by...
