Yes, having Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), including conditions like Ulcerative Colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease, can increase the risk of developing colon cancer over time. However, this risk is generally higher in cases of long-standing and extensive disease involvement.
Ulcerative Colitis
Our research in ulcerative colitis aimed to develop effective treatments for the gut and give you relief from pain.
Ulcerative Colitis - Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Ulcerative Colitis (UC) is a type of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) characterized by chronic inflammation in the colon and rectum. The diagnosis of UC primarily relies on colonoscopy results. It is more prevalent than Crohn’s disease, occurring three times more frequently. Ulcerative colitis (UC) affects approximately 1 million individuals (about the population of Delaware) in the United States.
Hightower conducted numerous clinical trials to explore potential treatments and research in Ulcerative Colitis. These trials focused on evaluating the safety and effectiveness of new drugs aimed at reducing the symptoms and colon inflammation of patients with moderate to severe UC and IBDIBD.
