Case description

Longstanding extensive UC is associated with a significantly increased risk of developing colon cancer. Colonoscopic surveillance is increasingly used in this group of patients. It is well documented that there is an increased risk of developing cancer in ulcerative colitis when compared to the general population, although it is now thought that the risk is much lower than previously believed.
