Abstract

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD), can develop various complications during the chronic remitting course. In the long-term course of the disease process, colorectal cancer (CRC) represents the most serious and life-threatening hazard. Evaluation of the incidence, risk factors, and confounding factors has been discussed, and surveillance methods have been established to lessen the burden on IBD patients. In this chapter, recent epidemiological trends and risk factors for CRC in IBD are discussed, and radiographic and endoscopic pictures of malignancies in UC and CD are presented.
