Background/Aims:
To study the association between Crohn's disease and cancer, we performed a population-based study of 1251 subjects with Crohn's disease diagnosed in Stockholm from 1955 to 1984 and followed in both the National Cancer Register and the National Cause-of-Death Register until 1989.
Methods:
For comparisons, regional cancer incidence rates in Stockholm County were used together with individually computed person-years at risk in the Crohn's disease cohort.
Results:
Overall, 69 malignancies occurred among 67 individuals as compared with 59.80 expected malignancies (standardized morbidity ratio [SMR] = 1.15; 95% confidence interval, 0.90-1.46). An excess number of cancers of the upper gastrointestinal tract (SMR, 3.05; 95% confidence interval, 1.67-5.11) was observed, mainly because of an increased number of cancers of the small intestine (SMR, 15.64; 95% confidence interval, 4.26-40.06). An increased occurrence of urinary bladder cancer was also observed (SMR, 2.68; 95% confidence interval, 1.08-5.53).
Conclusions:
The occurrence of colorectal cancer was not increased.

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.
