Figure 2 Hypothetical relationship between inflammatory bowel disease and colitis associated colorectal cancer. The T helper (Th)2 immune response characterizing ulcerative colitis determines an elevated risk of developing colitis associated colorectal cancer (CAC). In Crohn's disease, while a Th17-mediated immune response could cause inflammation and enhance CAC risk, the shift towards a Th1-mediated colitis could lower the incidence of CAC.
