"Patients with inflammatory bowel disease have a higher risk of developing colorectal cancer than people without IBD, and need to undergo assessment with regular colonoscopies to try to detect ...
The association between inflammatory conditions of the eye and Crohn's disease is due to many Crohn's disease patients having genetic markers such as HLA-B07, HLA-B27 and HLA-DRB1*0103. [57] Additionally, cytokines IL-6, IL-10, and IL-17 which are produced in the bowel enter the circulatory system and travel to the eyes to trigger inflammation.

In inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis), frequent biopsies are taken to assess the activity of the disease and to assess changes that precede malignancy. [23] Biopsy specimens are often taken from part of a lesion when the cause of a disease is uncertain or its extent or exact character is in doubt.
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]
ASCA are consistently higher in frequency in Crohn's disease. Yeast cause a three-fold increase in lymphocyte proliferation relative to normal controls. [21] The ASCA antibodies are also more frequently found in familial Crohn's disease. [10] An altered humoral and cellular response to mannan is observed and may be due to a loss of yeast ...
