Ulcerative colitis and carcinoma of the proximal bile ducts
Abstract:
In a review of 103 patients with carcinoma of the proximal bile ducts, eight patients were noted to have had ulcerative colitis also. This finding is strongly suggestive of a specific association between the two diseases. In three of the patients, carcinoma developed several years after proctocolectomy. Seven of the eight patients were significantly younger than the median age of the group as a whole, but no other apparent difference was noted between those with ulcerative colitis and the remainder of the group.

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...
