Article Synopsis
- The study looked at how Crohn's Disease (CD) affects people with colorectal cancer (CRC) in Denmark from 2009 to 2019.
- Out of 38,077 CRC patients, only 245 had CD, and these patients were typically diagnosed at a younger age than those without CD.
- In general, CD didn't lead to a higher risk of dying from CRC, but those with CD and certain types of cancer had higher mortality rates, especially with advanced tumors (UICC stage III).
Background And Aims: The aim of this systematic review was to assess the literature on the incidence and risk factors for colorectal cancer and anal cancer in patients with perianal Crohn's disease.
Method: A systematic review of the literature was performed using PubMed, Embase and Google Scholar. A meta-analysis was then conducted using a random-effects model.
