Background And Aims: The molecular, endoscopic, and histological features of IBD-associated CRC differ from sporadic CRC. The objective of this study was to describe the prevalence, clinical features, and prognosis of IBD-associated CRC compared to patients with sporadic CRC in a US statewide population-based cohort.
Methods: All newly diagnosed cases of CRC between 1996 and 2011 were obtained from Utah Cancer Registry. IBD was identified using a previously validated algorithm, from statewide databases of Intermountain Healthcare, University of Utah Health Sciences, and the Utah Population Database. Logistic regression was performed to identify risk factors associated with IBD-associated cancer and Cox regression for differences in survival.
Results: Among 12,578 patients diagnosed with CRC, 101 (0.8%) had a prior history of IBD (61 ulcerative colitis and 40 Crohn's disease). The mean age at CRC diagnosis was greater for patients without IBD than those with IBD (67.1 vs 52.8 years, P < 0.001). Individuals with IBD-associated CRC were more likely to be men (odds ratio [OR] 1.90, 95% CI 1.23-2.92), aged less than 65 years (OR 6.77, 95% CI 4.06-11.27), and have CRC located in the proximal colon (OR 2.79, 95% CI 1.85-4.20) than those with sporadic CRC. Nearly 20% of the IBD-associated CRCs had evidence of primary sclerosing cholangitis. After adjustment for age, gender, and stage at diagnosis, the excess hazard of death after CRC diagnosis was 1.7 times higher in IBD than in non-IBD patients (95% CI 1.27-2.33).
Conclusions: The features of patients with CRC and IBD differ significantly from those without IBD and may be associated with increased mortality.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease-associated colorectal cancer (IBD-CRC) is a known and serious complication of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) affecting the colon. However, relatively little is known about the pathogenesis of IBD-associated colorectal cancer in comparison with its sporadic cancer counterpart. Here, we investigated the function of Dock2, a gene mutated in ~10% of IBD-associated colorectal cancers that encodes a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF).

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic systemic inflammatory condition regarded as a major risk factor for colitis-associated cancer. However, the underlying mechanisms of IBD remain unclear. First, five GSE data sets available in GEO were used to perform 'batch correction' and Robust Rank Aggregation (RRA) to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs).

Background And Aim: Post-colonoscopy colorectal cancer [PCCRC] is a colorectal cancer [CRC] diagnosed after a colonoscopy in which no cancer was detected [index colonoscopy]. Although the overall cumulative rates of PCCRC are low in both the general population and inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] patients, the overall incidence of PCCRC in IBD is greater than that documented in the general population. This study aimed to identify the index colonoscopy-related factors and patients' characteristics influencing IBD-associated PCCRC development.

The risk of colorectal cancer [CRC] is increased in patients with inflammatory bowel disease [IBD], particularly in extensive ulcerative colitis [UC] and Crohn's colitis. Gut microbiota have been implicated in the pathogenesis of CRC via multiple mechanisms, including the release of reactive oxygen species and genotoxins, and induction of inflammation, as well as activation of the immune response. Gut microbiota can enhance their carcinogenic and proinflammatory properties by organising into biofilms, potentially making them more resistant to the host's immune system and to antibiotics.

The link between inflammation and cancer is well documented and colonic inflammation caused by inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is thought to be a high-risk factor for the development of colorectal cancer (CRC). The complex crosstalk between epithelial and inflammatory cells is thought to underlie the progression from inflammation to cancer. The present review collates and summarises recent advances in the understanding of the pathogenesis of IBD-associated CRC (IBD-CRC), including the oncogenic mechanisms of the main inflammatory signalling pathways and genetic alterations induced by oxidative stress during colonic inflammation, and discusses the crosstalk between the tumour microenvironment, intestinal flora and host immune factors during inflammatory oncogenesis in colitis-associated CRC.
