    Patients with severe ulcerative colitis have a 1.7% risk of developing colon cancer over time. Early detection through yearly endoscopic and biopsy surveys is recommended for ulcerative colitis patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Oncology
    • Colorectal Surgery

    Background:

    • Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease.
    • Long-standing UC increases the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC).
    • Understanding the incidence and characteristics of CRC in UC patients is crucial for early detection and management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the incidence of colon cancer in patients with ulcerative colitis.
    • To analyze the clinical, anatomical, and morphological features of colitis-associated cancer.
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of diagnostic methods and propose strategies for earlier cancer detection.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 342 ulcerative colitis patients treated between 1963 and 1981.
    • Identification of patients who developed colon cancer during the follow-up period.

  • Review of clinical data, disease extent, clinical course, diagnostic methods, tumor morphology, and differentiation.
  • Surgical intervention and survival data were recorded.

    • Main Results:

    • Six patients (1.7%) developed colon cancer after 7 to 21 years of UC onset.
    • UC was classified as moderate to severe, with extensive colonic involvement in most cases.
    • Cancer occurred in relapsing-remitting, chronic continuous, and unclassified UC types.
    • Tumors presented as plaque, polypoid, fibrous stricture, or ordinary colorectal cancer; 3 cases were multiple.
    • Histological analysis revealed well-differentiated and poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma in equal proportions.
    • Only one of the six surgically treated patients survived.

    Conclusions:

    • Ulcerative colitis patients, particularly those with severe disease, face a significant risk of developing colon cancer.
    • Early detection strategies, including annual endoscopic and biopsy surveillance, are essential for improving outcomes.
    • Prompt diagnosis and treatment are critical, given the poor survival rate observed in this cohort.
