TL;DR: Inflammatory bowel disease is associated with an increased incidence of melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancer, and the risk of NMSC is increased by use of biologics and thiopurines, respectively, and patients with IBD should be counseled and monitored for skin cancer.

TL;DR: Despite its relatively recent description, EoE is frequently diagnosed in the United States, with an estimated prevalence of 56.7/100,000 persons, which depends on the accuracy of the International Classification of Diseases, 9th revision code, but it could be an underestimate.

TL;DR: A high-fiber diet and increased frequency of bowel movements are associated with greater, rather than lower, prevalence of diverticulosis, and Hypotheses regarding risk factors for asymptomatic diverticus should be reconsidered.

TL;DR: Use of up to 2 years of estrogen plus progestin was associated with increases in mammographic density and abnormal findings over a 1-year and 2-year period.

TL;DR: The noninvestigational experience suggests patients with stage III CC ≥ 75 years of age may anticipate a survival benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy, and use of adjUvant chemotherapy after the age of 75 years merits consideration in discussions that weigh individual risks and preferences.
