Background: Chronic ulcerative colitis (UC) is associated with an increased colorectal cancer risk which may be secondary to repetitive mucosal injury. Both epigenetic methylation and the classic adenoma-to-carcinoma sequence have been implicated in this malignant transformation, but the underlying
Ulcerative colitis, particularly when there is total colonic involvement, is a premalignant lesion of the colon. We review the available methods for the early detection and prevention of colonic carcinoma in patients with ulcerative colitis. These methods include detection of precancer (carcinoma in
Using a technique of tolerization, a murine monoclonal antibody (MAb 2E8) has been raised which displays regional differences in reactivity in the epithelium of the normal human colon and increased reactivity in active ulcerative colitis. MAb 2ES (IgC,) was highly colon-specific and gave higher immu
To minimize the possibility of developing lethal colorectal cancer (CRC) in ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's colitis, patients are usually enrolled in a program of dysplasia surveillance. The success of a surveillance program depends on the identification of patients with dysplasia and timely ref
