TLDR
The long-term use of colonoscopic surveillance in ulcerative colitis is a reliable way to select patients, in whom dysplasia is developing, for prophylactic surgery, and flow cytometric DNA analyses may help in the selection.

The risk of colorectal cancer in ulcerative colitis: a meta-analysis

TL;DR: Using new meta-analysis techniques, the risk of CRC in UC by decade of disease and defined the risk in pancolitics and children was determined and how risk varies with geography was estimated.

Cancer as an evolutionary and ecological process.

TL;DR: The tools of evolutionary biology and ecology are providing new insights into neoplastic progression and the clinical control of cancer.

Cancer risk in patients with inflammatory bowel disease: a population-based study.

TL;DR: The objective of the current study was to determine the incidence of cancer among persons with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and to compare these incidence rates with those of the non‐IBD population using population‐based data from the administrative claims data of Manitoba's universal provincial insurance plan (Manitoba Health).

Are we telling patients the truth about surveillance colonoscopy in ulcerative colitis

TL;DR: Patients should be informed about the limitations of colonoscopic surveillance so that they can take part rationally in decision-making about their management, and be aware of the risk of progression to dysplasia.

Dysplasia in inflammatory bowel disease: Standardized classification with provisional clinical applications

TL;DR: A classification system for the epithelial changes that occur in ulcerative colitis was developed, which should be applicable to other forms of inflammatory bowel disease as well and makes use of standardized terminology, addresses specific problem areas, and offers practical solutions.

- 01 Oct 1967 - 
TL;DR: The detection of epithelial changes suggestive of precancer or carcinoma in situ in rectal biopsies from patients with ulcerative colitis prompted an investigation into the incidence and extent of such changes in colectomy specimens removed for colitis with and without malignant change.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dysplasia-associated lesion or mass (DALM) detected by colonoscopy in long-standing ulcerative colitis: an indication for colectomy.

TL;DR: In performing colonoscopy over a 4-yr period on 112 patients with long-standing ulcerative colitis, a dysplasia-associated lesion or mass (DALM) was found in 12, carrying a sufficiently high risk of cancer, thereby constituting a strong indication for colectomy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Colorectal cancer in ulcerative colitis: a cohort study of primary referrals from three centres.

TL;DR: It is suggested that extensive colitis patients have a genetic predisposition to colorectal cancer and that longstanding inflammation is not of primary importance in the initiation/promotion of cancer in this disease.
