TLDR
In a case-control study, increased inflammation is associated with CRN in patients with UC and use of immune modulators reduced the risk for CRN, indicating that these drugs have chemoprotective effects.

Clinical Aspects of Idiopathic Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Review for Pathologists

TL;DR: Having this team approach improves understanding of the pertinent clinical and surgical aspects of the disease and assists in the recognition of unusual presentation of variants, as well as mimics of idiopathic inflammatory bowel disease, by pathologists.

Predicting Colorectal Cancer Occurrence in IBD.

TL;DR: A review summarises the known risk factors associated with colitis-associated colorectal cancer and explores the molecular landscape that has the potential to complement and optimise the existing IBD surveillance program.

Relationship between endoscopic mucosal healing and histologic inflammation during remission maintenance phase in ulcerative colitis: a retrospective study.

TL;DR: This retrospective study suggests that histological healing can be a predictor of sustained remission in UC patients, and examination of histological inflammation provides useful information for long-term management of UC, particularly in patients with MES 1.

The measurement of observer agreement for categorical data

TL;DR: A general statistical methodology for the analysis of multivariate categorical data arising from observer reliability studies is presented and tests for interobserver bias are presented in terms of first-order marginal homogeneity and measures of interob server agreement are developed as generalized kappa-type statistics.

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.

Inflammation and Cancer IV. Colorectal cancer in inflammatory bowel disease: the role of inflammation

TL;DR: Observations of mice genetically prone to inflammatory bowel disease also develop colorectal cancer especially in the presence of bacterial colonization offer compelling support for the role of inflammation in colon carcinogenesis.

Severity of inflammation is a risk factor for colorectal neoplasia in ulcerative colitis

TL;DR: In long-standing extensive ulcerative colitis, the severity of colonic inflammation is an important determinant of the risk of colorectal neoplasia and endoscopic and histological grading of inflammation could allow better risk stratification for surveillance programs.
