    Screening for colon cancer with colonoscopy is recommended for anyone who has had Crohn's colitis for at least eight years. [87] Some studies suggest there is a role for chemoprotection in the prevention of colorectal cancer in Crohn's involving the colon; two agents have been suggested, folate and mesalamine preparations. [88]

    People with inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease) are at increased risk of colon cancer. [32] [33] The risk increases the longer a person has the disease, and the worse the severity of inflammation. [34] In these high risk groups, both prevention with aspirin and regular colonoscopies are recommended. [35]

    Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a group of inflammatory conditions of the colon and small intestine, with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis (UC) being the principal types.

    For breast cancer, the relative risk is 1.8 with a first-degree relative having developed it at 50 years of age or older, and 3.3 when the relative developed it when being younger than 50 years of age. [86] Taller people have an increased risk of cancer because they have more cells than shorter people.

  6. Pancolitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pancolitis

    Genes that are known to put individuals at risk for Crohn's disease have been shown to also increase risk of other IBD including pancolitis. [5] Furthermore, an individual may also develop pancolitis if ulcerative colitis of only a small portion of the colon is left untreated or worsens. [3]

  7. Colitis - Wikipedia

    The signs and symptoms of colitis are quite variable and dependent on the cause of the given colitis and factors that modify its course and severity. [2]Common symptoms of colitis may include: mild to severe abdominal pains and tenderness (depending on the stage of the disease), persistent hemorrhagic diarrhea with pus either present or absent in the stools, fecal incontinence, flatulence ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulcerative_colitis

    Gross pathology of normal colon (left) and severe ulcerative colitis (right), forming pseudopolyps (smaller than the cobblestoning typically seen in Crohn's disease), over a continuous area (rather than skip lesions of Crohn's disease), and with a relatively gradual transition from normal colon (while Crohn's is typically more abrupt).

  9. Diet and cancer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diet_and_cancer

    For breast cancer, there is a replicated trend for women with a more "prudent or healthy" diet, i.e. higher in fruits and vegetables, to have a lower risk of cancer. [18] Unhealthy dietary patterns are associated with a higher body mass index suggesting a potential mediating effect of obesity on cancer risk. [19]
