Inflammatory bowel disease-related colorectal cancer (IBD-CRC) is one of the most serious complications of IBD contributing to significant mortality in this cohort of patients. IBD is often associated with diet and lifestyle-related gut microbial dysbiosis, the interaction of genetic and environmental factors, leading to chronic gut inflammation. According to the “common ground hypothesis”, microbial dysbiosis and intestinal barrier impairment are at the core of the chronic inflammatory process associated with IBD-CRC. Among the many underlying factors known to increase the risk of IBD-CRC, perhaps the most important factor is chronic persistent inflammation. The persistent inflammation in the colon results in increased proliferation of cells necessary for repair but this also increases the risk of dysplastic changes due to chromosomal and microsatellite instability. Multiple pathways have been identified, regulated by many positive and negative factors involved in the development of cancer, which in this case follows the ‘inflammation-dysplasia-carcinoma’ sequence. Strategies to lower this risk are extremely important to reduce morbidity and mortality due to IBD-CRC, among which colonoscopic surveillance is the most widely accepted and implemented modality, forming part of many national and international guidelines. However, the effectiveness of surveillance in IBD has been a topic of much debate in recent years for multiple reasons — cost-benefit to health systems, resource requirements, and also because of studies showing conflicting long-term data. Our review provides a comprehensive overview of past, present, and future perspectives of IBD-CRC. We explore and analyse evidence from studies over decades and current best practices followed globally. In the future directions section, we cover emerging novel endoscopic techniques and artificial intelligence that could play an important role in managing the risk of IBD-CRC.
Core Tip: The focus of the review is on the evolution of inflammatory bowel disease-related colorectal cancer (IBD-CRC) based on literature over the past decades to the present day. We provide a comprehensive overview of risk factors associated with IBD-CRC, molecular pathways identified and current strategies used to reduce incidence globally. We also touch upon the history of surveillance practice, its effectiveness, and the latest guidance on IBD surveillance by international societies. In a section on future directions, we discuss introduction of novel endoscopic technologies, artificial intelligence, and potential use of microbiota modulation, all of which could help reduce the risk of IBD-CRC.

Chronic inflammation is known to be a major risk factor in the pathogenesis of cancer. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and IBD-related colorectal cancer (IBD-CRC) is one of its major and serious complications. Although only 1%-2% of IBD patients develop IBD-CRC, it contributes to about 15% of IBD-related mortality[1]. As per current long-term epidemiological data, the risk of CRC in IBD patients is high, particularly in patients with extensive ulcerative colitis (UC). Eaden et al[2] in their meta-analysis of 116 studies found that the incidence of IBD-CRC was 2%, 8% and 18% at 10, 20, and 30 years after the onset of UC, respectively. The role of Crohn’s disease (CD) in the development of CRC is debatable and considered modest in comparison to UC. Canavan et al[3] in their meta-analysis estimated cumulative risk of 2.9% at 10 years, 5.6% at 20 years, and 8.3% at 30 years in patients with CD. However, factors like patient selection, sample size, duration of follow-up, completeness of case recruitment, and geographical differences may have influenced these estimates.
The severity of inflammation is a significant risk factor that increases the risk of IBD-CRC. Inflammation-related oxidative stress leading to genomic instability is considered the main trigger for the development of CRC. Studies on colonic tissue in IBD-CRC at the cellular and molecular level have found that the sequence of development of carcinogenesis is different from that observed in sporadic cancer in the non-inflamed colon. IBD-associated carcinogenesis follows an ‘inflammation-dysplasia-carcinoma’ sequence instead of the ‘adenoma-carcinoma’ sequence seen in sporadic CRC[4].
In this review article, we present a comprehensive overview of the literature on the epidemiology of IBD-CRC over decades, risk factors and pathogenesis including molecular pathways implicated. In addition, we present preventive strategies, current evidence for surveillance, the evolution of surveillance techniques with time, chemoprevention and explored which endoscopic technologies are likely to become standard for surveillance in the future. We have also touched upon the emergence of using diet and faecal microbiota modulation as a potential strategy in the future.
Many recent population-based studies and meta-analyses have shown that the risk of IBD-CRC is lower than what has been previously reported, most of which were from studies done in tertiary referral centres. One probable reason for this difference could be that recent studies are more focused on selecting the right study population (included more severe cases), sample size and are more thorough with follow-up; completeness of study recruitment and geographical differences were perhaps taken into consideration while analysing their findings. The details of the study results that reported the incidence of IBD-CRC over the last four decades are summarized in Table 1.
Epidemiology | CRC in ulcerative colitis | CRC in indeterminate colitis | CRC in Crohn's disease | |
Annual incidence | Past | Stewénius et al[111], 1995, 1.4/1000 PYD; Eaden et al[2], 2001, 2/1000 PYD-after 10 yr of initial onset; 7/1000 PY (patients with extensive colitis 90%) 30 yr of initial onset; Castaño-Milla et al[112], 2012, 1.01/1000 PYD - after 10 yr of initial onset; 3.75/1000 PYD - after 20 yr of initial onset; 5.85/1000 PYD - after 30 yr of initial onset | Stewénius et al[111], 1995, 2.4/1000 PYD | Olén et al[113], 2020, a Scandinavian population-based cohort study 0.31 per 1000 PY(1968); Laukoetter et al[114], 2011, 0.5/1000 PYD |
Present | Fumery et al[115], 2017, the annual incidence of CRC was 0.8% (95%CI: 0.4-1.3) | Olén et al[113], 2020, a Scandinavian population-based cohort study 0.47 per 1000 person-years (2017) | ||
Risk | Past | Eaden et al[2], 2001, 0.3% after 30 yr of initial onset | Canavan et al[3], 2006, 2.9% after 10 yr of initial onset; 5.6% after 20 yr; 8.3% after 30 yr. Friedman et al[116], 2008, 7% by 10th surveillance (patients with extensive colitis 90%). Basseri et al[117], 2012, 5.6% by 10th surveillance (patients with extensive colitis 55%) | |
Present | Fumery et al[115], 2017, the risk of CRC was higher when LGD was diagnosed by an expert gastrointestinal pathologist (1.5%) than by community pathologists (0.2%). Factors significantly associated with dysplasia progression were concomitant: PSC (OR, 3.4; 95% CI: 1.5-7.8); Invisible dysplasia (vs visible dysplasia; OR, 1.9; 95% CI: 1.0-3.4), distal location (vs proximal location; OR, 2.0; 95% CI: 1.1-3.7); Multifocal dysplasia (vs unifocal dysplasia; OR, 3.5; 95% CI: 1.5-8.5) | Keller et al[118], 2019, IBD-CRC is responsible for approximately 2% of the annual mortality from CRC overall, but 10%-15% of the annual deaths in IBD patients | Olén et al[113], a Scandinavian population-based cohort study. Patients with Crohn's disease who were diagnosed with CRC were at increased risk of CRC mortality compared with reference individuals also diagnosed with CRC [HR 1.42 (1.16-1.75) when adjusted for tumour stage] |
The risk factors of IBD-CRC can be broadly classified as factors that are genetic or familial and factors related to diet and lifestyle. These are illustrated in Figure 1A.
The association between disease duration in IBD and probability of CRC is controversial. Studies published over the decades report different conclusions. Several studies have found that the incidence of IBD-CRC is higher among patients who develop IBD at a young age making duration of disease an important risk factor[2,5,6]. Another surveillance study published in 2015 by investigators at St Mark's Hospital, London followed up 1375 UC patients for 15234 patient-years (median, 11 years per patient) and IBD-CRC was detected in 72 patients [incidence rate (IR), 4.7 per 1000 patient-years]. Although the IR of early IBD-CRC was noted to have increased by 2.5-fold in the current decade compared with the past decade (P = 0.045) it is reassuring that the 10-year survival rate was high (79.6%)[7]. A number of studies have concluded that in Crohn’s colitis risk of CRC is similar to UC if the extension and duration of the disease are comparable[8,9].
In a meta-analysis, Zhou et al[10] found that Oceania has a higher incidence than other continents. In Asia, it was found that the risk of CRC among UC patients increased after 10-20 years of disease duration, whereas in Europe, the risk of CRC in UC showed no statistical difference in disease duration for 1-9 years, 10-20 years, 21-30 years, or more than 30 years. In North America, the risk of CRC among UC patients increased significantly after more than 30 years of disease detection.
Gender is reported to be an important risk factor for IBD-CRC. In a large population-based cohort (n = 7607) of individuals diagnosed with IBD from 1954 to 1989, the risk of CRC was found to be 60% higher in males aged < 45 years at diagnosis, with a relative risk (RR) of 1.6 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.2-2.2] compared to females[11]. Similar findings were noted in a meta-analysis conducted by Jess et al[12] where men had a greater risk with a standardized IR (SIR) of 2.6 (95%CI: 2.2-3.0) compared to women (SIR of 1.9; 95%CI: 1.5-2.3).
In a study published in 1994, Gillen et al[13] reported a 19-fold increase in the risk of CRC in extensive UC compared to the general population (matched for age, sex, and disease duration). Similar findings were reported by Zhou et al[10] in a large meta-analysis that included 58 studies and 267566 UC patients; they found that disease extent-specific risk estimates for CRC in UC were reported in 21 of the 58 studies and that extensive UC and left-sided UC had a higher risk of CRC (SIR: 1.42, 95%CI: 0.83-2.42; SIR: 0.56, 95%CI: 0.38-0.83 respectively) compared to proctitis (SIR: 0.18, 95%CI: 0.01-0.03).
Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic cholestatic liver disease and a significant proportion of patients with PSC also develop IBD[14], often characterized by pancolitis, rectal sparing, backwash ileitis, and importantly, a threefold increased risk of colorectal dysplasia[15,16]. PSC with CD phenotype has been observed to be less severe than PSC with underlying UC[15-17].
A multicentric retrospective cohort study involving 277 PSC-IBD patients found that the IR of CRC since PSC diagnosis at 3.3 cases per 1000 patient-years (95%CI: 1.9-5.6), with an IR of 61 PSC cases per 100000 IBD patient-years. Of these, 69.7% were male, 67.5% had UC, and the mean age at PSC diagnosis was 40 ± 16 years. PSC-IBD patients with symptoms of PSC at diagnosis were noted to have an increased risk of CRC[16].
Recent evidence suggests that intestinal microbiota; particularly the bacterial component plays a fundamental role in the health and progression of diseases such as IBD and CRC. The factors that are known to influence the gut microbiome are illustrated in Figure 1B.
The development of IBD is often associated with altered microbial communities (dysbiosis) in the gut, interaction of genetic and environmental factors leading to chronic inflammation in the intestine. According to the “common ground hypothesis”, microbial dysbiosis and a leaky gut (due to intestinal barrier impairment)[18-20] are at the core of the chronic inflammatory process associated with IBD-CRC[21]. Several studies involving patient and gnotobiotic mouse models[22,23] have substantiated this hypothesis[24].
Studies have shown high densities of mucosa-associated bacteria[21,25], with the ability to produce a greater mass of biofilm and extracellular matrix were present in IBD patients[26]. These mucosae associated highly virulent bacteria are suspected to play a pivotal role in gut inflammation and tumorigenesis[21]. Some of the common gut commensals like Helicobacter pylori[27], Fusobacterium nucleatum[28], Bacteriodes fragilis[29], and Campylobacter species[30] have been implicated in gastric tumorigenesis and CRC[23]. In a study by Gevers et al[31] on new-onset treatment-naïve pediatric patients with CD and UC, an abundance of Enterobacteriaceae, Bacteroides/Prevotella, Veillonellaceae, and Fusobacteriaceae were seen in ileal and colonic biopsies. Although the role of microbial and host factors in disease pathogenesis has not been established in chronic gut inflammation and IBD-CRC, it can be hypothesized that the combined effect of host barrier defects and bacterial invasiveness may evoke a massive amount of immune hyperactivation in the gut mucosa. This is likely to ultimately lead to a vicious cycle of chronic inflammation driven by the malignant transformation of the gut epithelium[21].
The molecular pathogenesis of IBD-CRC is very different from sporadic CRC[32]. With the advent of molecular technology in recent years, the pathophysiology of the development of IBD-CRC has been extensively studied, and has led to better understanding of molecular mechanisms and identification of new biomarkers[32-34].
Numerous positive and negative regulators in the development of IBD-CRC have been identified which are illustrated in Figure 2. The process of development of IBD-CRC is triggered probably due to chromosomal and microsatellite instability through well-defined pathways (Wnt pathway, CIMP pathway), causing mucosal dysplasia[32]. The involvement of these pathways suggests that persistent inflammation plays a prominent role in carcinogenesis. The changes occurring in the micro-environment due to chronic inflammation are thought to be responsible for the increased risk. The chronic proliferation necessary to repair epithelial layer damage (caused by constant inflammation) enhances the risk of dysplasia[35]. Although multiple cytokines and pathways have been identified in the pathogenesis of IBD-CRC[32-34], it continues to be a topic of ongoing research. Further research will not only enhance our understanding but also help identify non-invasive biomarkers and targets of therapy. A summary of currently known molecular mechanisms is summarized in Table 2.
Cytokines | The mechanism | Potential target of therapy? | Ref. |
TNF-α | Triggers systemic inflammation and is one of the cytokines that make up the acute phase reaction in IBD and other chronic inflammatory diseases TNF-α regulates the induction MACC1 via the NF-κB subunit p65 and the transcription factor c-Jun in CRC cells | Yes: Anti TNF used to control inflammation in IBD; hence may reduce incidence of CRC but this is debatable | Pache et al[119], Kobelt et al[120] |
IL-6 family | In the chronic phase of inflammation, IL-6 is able to activate almost all the cells of the body: trans-signalling-Increased formations of IL-6-sIL-6R complexes interact with gp130 on the membrane of CD4+T-cells and leads to an increased expression and nuclear translocation of STAT3, which causes the induction of anti-apoptotic genes, e.g., Bcl-xl. This leads to resistance of lamina propria T-cells to apoptosis. T-cell expansion contributes to chronic intestinal inflammation | No: Anti IL-6 antibodies not successfully used in IBD. Unlikely to be useful in reducing risk of IBD-CRC | Atreya and Neurath[121], Allocca et al[122], Coskun et al[123], Danese et al[124] |
IL-11 | IL-11 belongs to the IL-6 family of cytokines. IL-11 has pro-tumorigenic activities such as proliferation, self-renewal, invasion and angiogenesis | No: No evidence to suggest it could be used as therapeutic agent. Could be useful as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker | Murakami et al[125], Johnstone et al[126], Ren et al[127], Unver and McAllister[128], Pastor et al[129], Putoczki et al[130] |
IL-17 | IL-7 is a cytokine that helps the long-term survival of Th17 cells and innate lymphoid cells that express the transcription factor RORγt. It is suspected to be important for maintaining populations of T cells that induce and induce mucosal inflammation in IBD. IL-7 also maintains NKT cells that produce IL-17, using the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway | No: Anti-IL-17 medications are associated with IBD exacerbation | Hohenberger et al[131], Moschen et al[132] |
IL-21 | IL21 plays a dual role: IL-21 deficiency as a novel cause of early-onset IBD in human subjects accompanied by defects in B-cell development. Reduced numbers of circulating CD19 (+) B cells, including IgM (+) naive and class-switched IgG memory B cells, with a concomitant increase in transitional B-cell numbers. IL-21 Overproduction: IL-21 plays an important role in sustaining tissue-damaging immune responses | Yes: Could be used as a potential new therapeutic target in CD but unclear if it will influence IBD-CRC | Di Fusco et al[133], Salzer et al[134] |
IL-23 | IL-23R signalling affects disease susceptibility increased production of IL-23 by macrophages, dendritic cells or granulocytes has been observed in various mouse models of colitis, colitis-associated cancer and IBD patients | Yes: Currently in clinical trials for CD but too early to comment on effect on IBD-CRC | Moschen et al[132], Neurath[135] |
Earlier studies have found TP53 and KRAS mutations in IBD-CRC and sporadic CRC. However, the molecular pathway towards the progression of carcinogenesis is different[32,36,37]. Recent studies have shown that TP53 mutations were detected among 70% of sporadic colorectal carcinomas[38] and that both loss and gain of function of TP53 might promote malignancy at the late phase of carcinogenesis[39].
It has been reported that the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) and KRAS mutations were significantly less common in IBD-CRCs than in sporadic CRCs (15% vs 53%, P < 0.001 and 20% vs 38%, P = 0.02, respectively)[38].
The signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) pathway has been identified as an important one in the development of both sporadic CRC as well as IBD-CRC (Figure 3A). The exact mechanism is still not very well understood but it is reported to be due to signalling protein dysregulation and constitutive activation of STAT3[33,40]. Corvinus et al[41] showed in their murine model that constitutive STAT3 activation was persistent and important in CRC cells, possibly triggered by IL-6. Further, studies by other investigators have reported subsequently that STAT3 activation is associated with invasion, survival, and growth of CRC cells in mice in vivo[40,42]. Lin et al[40] have also demonstrated using both in vitro and in vivo models that blockade of IL-6/p-STAT3 (phosphorylated-STAT3) using an inhibitor suppressed tumour cell growth in colon cancer cells.
In human colonic tissue, patients with active colitis had significantly more IL-6 and p-STAT3-positive epithelial cells than both inactive UC and controls; in addition, they found that the proportion of suppressor of cytokine signalling 3 (SOCS3)-positive cells was lower in patients with dysplastic lesions and CRC. A study by Gui et al[43] that compared the expression of IL-6, STAT3, and SOCS3 in adenomas from IBD and non-IBD patients found significantly lower IL6, lower IL6R, higher STAT3, and lower SOCS3 expression in IBD associated dysplastic lesions.
Overall, dysregulation of this signalling pathway plays an important role in triggering neoplasia. STAT3 pathway driven by IL-6 continues to be a topic of ongoing research and likely to be an attractive target with therapeutic potential.
The canonical Wnt-pathway (β-catenin mediated Wnt-signalling) regulates the proliferation and differentiation of colonic stem cells in the normal colon[44,45]. However, the loss of APC gene results in the shift of β-catenin from membrane to the nucleus. This causes increased transcription of cyclin D1 and c-myc genes, leading to carcinogenesis (Figure 3B)[32,46]. Claessen et al[32] in their study reported that the Wnt pathway was activated in the early phase of colitis-associated CRC, and in about 50% of IBD-associated neoplasia cases. Another significant finding was that the pathway was also activated in the surrounding regions of dysplasia associated with IBD, a phenomenon termed as “field-cancerization”[32]. They suggest that estimation of β-catenin can be used as a biomarker for colonic field cancerization, facilitating early detection of neoplasia during colonic surveillance[32]. It has been shown in other studies that β-catenin could potentially be used as a marker of survival[47,48] and prognosis[47].
CRC results from a series of genetic mutations that alter the normal growth pattern of cells, as a consequence of which, affected cells acquire a growth advantage over other cells. This aberration leads to morphological changes termed dysplasia. It was postulated that colorectal dysplasia could represent a premalignant lesion in IBD as early as 1949 by Warren and Sommers[49] and some years later in 1967 important observations that dysplasia originated from nonpolypoid mucosa were also reported by another group.
Historically, an elevated lesion containing dysplasia was referred to as a dysplasia-associated lesion or mass (DALM)[50]. The diagnosis of DALM became complicated over time because of the inconsistent criteria used in describing IBD-related dysplasia. The term DALM was also was being inaccurately always linked to colectomy[50]. However, with the advent of fibre optic endoscopic visualization techniques and improvement in localized surgical resection procedures the definition, classification, and management of dysplasia became more systematic[50-52]. The SCENIC guidelines in 2015 made important recommendations to standardize how lesions are described during surveillance. It was recommended that the term DALM be abandoned[53]. The term dysplasia redefined as an abnormal growth of cells, tissues, or organs leading to the development of abnormal histological or anatomical structures has now replaced the previously used term DALM[52] dysplasia is categorized as low-grade dysplasia (LGD) and high-grade dysplasia (HGD) based on the degree of histological abnormalities.
The identification of dysplastic changes is important as this is an important stage in the development of cancer and considered a strong predictor of CRC in IBD. Chronic intestinal inflammation is the primary risk factor that leads to LGD, which can then progress to HGD and eventually CRC[54] (Figure 4). This sequence of events is thought to be accelerated in IBD-CRC compared to sporadic CRC[54]. In a study de Jong et al[55] investigated the long-term risk of HGD and CRC following the development of LGD using a nationwide database identifying a large IBD patient cohort. The risk factors for advanced neoplasia progression were found to be age > 55 years at the time of LGD detection, male gender and follow-up at a tertiary IBD referral centre. The study also found that the incidence rate of progression to advanced neoplasia was 22% after 15 years of detection of IBD. Dysplasia in colonic strictures and epithelial dysplasia are both well-documented risk factors and considered to be precursors to the development of IBD-CRC[55,56]. In a case-control study among 53568 IBD patients undergoing colonoscopy, Sonnenberg and Genta[56] found that the prevalence of dysplasia was 3.22% and 2.08% in UC and CD respectively [odds ratio (OR) = 0.75, 95%CI: 0.65-0.86], with a small increase in the prevalence of dysplasia within a stricture. The prevalence of cancer was higher in IBD patients with stricture compared to that without-0.78% and 0.11%, respectively (OR = 6.87, 95%CI: 3.30-12.89). A thirty-six-year analysis of a colonoscopic surveillance program found that in patients with UC who had undergone a colectomy due to HGD, 46% had a cancerous growth in the colon[57], thereby suggesting that the presence of HGD confers a high risk of synchronous cancer in the colon. Overall, dysplasia is a well-established histological stage in the development of IBD-CRC, and its detection during colonoscopy should prompt appropriate management to prevent progression to CRC. Surveillance programs are intended for the early detection of dysplastic lesions and strictures. In high-risk patients, surveillance helps in tracking disease progression in IBD patients. The intervals at which surveillance should take place vary from region to region, and based on guidelines by national societies. The British Society of Gastroenterology (BSG) recommends an intensified surveillance endoscopy program or a colectomy after the first 5 years of detection of LGD[58]. Other recommendations include re-evaluation by a second pathologist if LGD is detected and further assessment by an expert endoscopist. The details of surveillance techniques are discussed in detail in the next section.
Surveillance in IBD — the evolution of guidance and practice over time: Surveillance in IBD could be described as the process of careful examination of the colon to detect early mucosal changes that may herald possible neoplasia. The mucosal changes/lesions (dysplasia of varying degrees) or adenomas provide an opportunity for early diagnosis and management of these lesions. There have been multiple studies in the past which have supported the use of surveillance as a tool to reduce cancer incidence in IBD. With the wider adoption of surveillance programmes over many years, long-term data have been in favour of regular surveillance of at-risk patients[7,59]. Over the last 2 decades, the practice of surveillance in IBD has largely been in line with guidance, which was mainly based on their large meta-analysis on the risk of IBD related CRC in 2001[2]. This landmark study, in particular, helped strengthen guidelines for regular surveillance. The summaries of recommendations are: Screening colonoscopy after 8-10 years that will also clarify disease extent for all patients; Regular surveillance to begin after 8-10 years for pancolitis and after 15-20 years for the left-sided disease; Reduced screening interval with increasing disease duration (due to increased risk in pancolitis); In the second decade of disease a colonoscopy to be conducted every three years, every two years for the third decade, and yearly by the fourth decade of disease; Two to four random biopsy specimens every 10 cm should be taken from the entire colon with additional samples of suspicious areas; Patients with PSC (including those with an orthotopic liver transplant) represent a subgroup at higher risk of cancer and they should have an annual colonoscopy.
These recommendations have been adopted by both the BSG and European Crohn’s and Colitis Organisation (ECCO), with some minor differences and recent updates[60,61]. The core recommendations for surveillance remained stagnant for about twenty years. Recent advances in endoscopic technology and the use of new methods have meant that surveillance practices have started to change but can vary depending on the centre, availability of equipment, and expertise. The introduction of new technology has been matched by sound recommendations by the SCENIC guidelines and availability of newer endoscopic classification systems to help clinicians describe IBD-related dysplastic lesions whilst using these techniques. e.g., the Frankfurt Advanced Chromoendoscopic IBD LEsions (FACILE) classification that has been developed, validated, and shown to be reproducible[62].
Although the SCENIC guidelines do not recommend routine use of Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) for surveillance, recent studies have shown that this could be a reliable modality. A large multicentre study by Watanabe et al[63] randomised 263 surveillance patients to either chromoendoscopy or surveillance using NBI. The results showed no significant difference in lesion detection rates (10.7% vs 11.9%) and the duration of procedure was shorter with NBI (by 4 min; P < 0.001)[63]. Further, a study by Bisschops et al[64] found NBI to be significantly better than high definition chromoendoscopy images to differentiate neoplastic from non-neoplastic lesions among experts. The results of these studies indicate that the NBI may have a potential role in surveillance in the future and is likely to find a place in updated guidelines.
The effectiveness of surveillance in IBD has been a topic of much debate over years for multiple reasons — cost-benefit to health systems, resource requirements, and also because studies show many conflicting data.
A Cochrane review by Collins et al[65] from 2006 looked into the effectiveness of surveillance in reducing the death rate from CRC in IBD. This study included a combination of prospective and retrospective studies that looked at the impact of surveillance on IBD-CRC. They reported on direct and indirect evidence to answer the question of the effectiveness of surveillance. The details of the studies included are given in Table 3. In summary, one study showed a dose-response to survival wherein a higher number of surveillance procedures were protective and increased survival, one showed that surveillance picked up CRC at an earlier stage and 5-year survival was better in the surveillance group compared to the non-surveillance group and another showed improved survival in the surveillance group compared to non-surveillance, but no improvement in mortality due to CRC. Some other studies have tried to estimate the economic benefits of surveillance. However, these models were calculated for sporadic cancers, and conclusions extended to IBD-CRC. It was shown that screening programs for normal individuals in the community have financial gains and therefore an argument has been made in favour of surveillance of high-risk patients with IBD. A more recent systematic review and meta-analysis by Bye et al[66] included observational studies of patients that included patients undergoing surveillance. Their pooled analysis showed a reduction in IBD-CRC in patients undergoing surveillance by 42% and IBD-CRC-related death by 64%, compared to those who did not undergo surveillance[66]. Current literature appears to favour surveillance and therefore it is part of standard service provision in many endoscopy centres.

Random biopsies during surveillance colonoscopy had been standard practice, which was a labour-intensive process not only for the endoscopist but also the pathologist. Studies that looked at accuracy of targeted biopsies changed the landscape of surveillance making it more efficient without compromising on the accuracy of detecting neoplasia.
In a key prospective exploratory trial, Watanabe et al[67] randomised chronic UC patients undergoing surveillance to either have targeted biopsies (from lesions detected) or step-wise multiple biopsies (random biopsies every 10 cm). The patients underwent high-definition white-light endoscopy (HD-WLE) in most cases. The investigators found that the detection of neoplasia was significantly higher in the target biopsy group compared to random biopsies (6.9% vs 0.5%), with a lower mean number of biopsies in the targeted group (34.8 vs 3.1; P < 0.001) and shorter examination time, concluding that targeted biopsies were as effective as random biopsies and more cost-effective[67]. This finding has been suggested in other studies, thereby indicating random biopsies could still be useful in select high risk patients, in line with the 2019 European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) recommendations[68].
Dye-chromoendoscopy (DCE) is currently the standard of care for surveillance colonoscopy in IBD as it has been reported to aid the detection of subtle mucosal lesions. A prospective randomised trial that compared DCE using methylene blue with conventional endoscopy reported more accurate findings with better ability to differentiate between neoplastic and non-neoplastic lesions in patients with long-standing UC. Another prospective study by Marion et al[69] in 2008 compared the same techniques with randomised and targeted biopsies in a cohort of 102 patients with IBD. DCE detected significantly higher number of dysplastic lesions compared to random biopsies[69]. A large systematic review and network meta-analysis found DCE to have a significantly higher diagnostic yield for neoplastic lesions compared to WLE[70]. This technique is therefore recommended for surveillance endoscopy by the ESGE.
Virtual electronic chromoendoscopy (VCE) or dyeless virtual chromoendoscopy uses image enhanced technology (I scan) that has been introduced in recent years but already increasingly adopted by expert endoscopists for surveillance colonoscopy. A retrospective study by Gasia et al[71] compared various technologies namely standard WLE, high definition WLE, DCE, VCE, and also strategies of targeted biopsies vs random. They found targeted biopsies to be better at neoplasia detection across all technologies except standard WLE. In a prospective randomised trial by the same investigating group, Iacucci et al[72] randomised patients with long-standing colitis into three arms: WLE, DCE, and VCE. In this non-inferiority study, VCE was found to be non-inferior to DCE in the detection of all neoplastic lesions. ESGE now strongly recommends the use of VCE or dye-spray with targeted biopsies for surveillance of colon with quiescent disease[68].
Chemoprevention in cancer is a term used for the use of pharmacological agents to reduce or delay the risk of carcinogenesis or progression of the disease[73,74]. Although there have been multiple drugs investigated for their potential, mesalazine currently has the largest evidence base to support its use for chemoprevention in CRC[74-76].
Mesalazine: Mesalazine or 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA), a structural analogue of aspirin, has been used for many decades as first-line therapy for mild-to-moderate UC in oral and topical forms. In addition to its anti-inflammatory properties, it has received much attention for its chemopreventive effects. The drug appears to exert its effects through multiple mechanisms. A systematic review that looked into molecular mechanisms of chemoprevention of CRC was published in 2009. Lyakhovich and Gasche[74] in this study summarised that 5-ASA inhibits cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)/prostaglandin E2 synthesis, decreases the transcriptional activity of NF-κB by modulating RelA/p65 phosphorylation, and interferes with the Wnt pathway through protein phosphatase 2A. Multiple other systematic reviews have reported on the chemoprotective effects of 5-ASA. Velayos et al[77] included nine studies with 1932 UC patients in their systematic review and meta-analysis and reported a protective effect of 5-ASA in IBD-CRC and CRC/dysplasia. A large meta-analysis by Qiu et al[76] comprising of 26 studies with > 15000 patients (UC + CD) reported a chemopreventive effect on CRC but not dysplasia. A dose of > 1.2 g/d was effective to reduce the risk. Another meta-analysis reported that 5-ASA was protective against CRC and dysplasia with a strong protective effect noted in UC but a non-significant effect in CD[78].
With many reporting on the mechanisms of 5-ASA in reducing the risk of CRC, it is plausible that it has a chemopreventive effect in IBD and can be used in this cohort of patients.
Thiopurines: Thiopurines have been used for many decades in the management of IBD. There have been no randomised studies to investigate the efficacy of thiopurine therapy and current evidence is from cohort, case-control or population-based studies, with conflicting reports. A systematic review by Jess et al[79] in 2014 reported no protective effect of thiopurine therapy on CRC in IBD patients. The studies included carried heterogeneity and included clinic-based cohort and case-control studies, but no population-based studies. The lack of protective effect may be explained due to the inclusion of studies with patients at a severe spectrum of disease[79].
Another systematic review and meta-analysis by Lu et al[80] reported in 2018 on 24 observational studies involving 76999 participants to evaluate the risks of developing CRC in IBD patients on thiopurines. The authors found an overall protective effect of thiopurine use on CRC in patients with IBD (OR = 0.63, 95%CI: 0.46-0.86) in a pooled estimate and the effect was significant in UC patients (OR = 0.67, 95%CI: 0.45-0.98), but not in CD patients (OR = 1.06, 95%CI: 0.54-2.09). Interestingly, the authors also reported that the protective effect was limited to clinic-based and case-control studies but no population-based studies.
Aspirin/non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs: Aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have been studied for their chemo-preventive properties in the context of sporadic CRC. The elevated levels of COX-2 expression found in most CRC meant that NSAIDs and selective COX-2 inhibitors (COXIBs)[81] carry the potential for use in chemoprevention. A large, randomised study reported a reduction in metastatic disease in CRC with aspirin use[82]. Although the mechanisms make these medications attractive options, there have been no prospective studies done to study their efficacy in the context of IBD-CRC. A systematic review and meta-analysis by Burr et al[83] reported on the effect of aspirin and NSAIDs on IBD-CRC. They found only 9 retrospective studies in IBD which included the use of either or both these drugs with CRC as one of the outcomes. The authors concluded that the studies presented several limitations including selection bias as well as confounding. Also, the number of patients included was a small and overall large variation in studies that led to no strong conclusions[83].
At present, the use of aspirin or NSAIDs as chemopreventive agents is not part of any guidelines. This is unlikely to change as large prospective studies that study IBD-CRC are unlikely to be carried out.
Folic acid: IBD leads to impaired folate absorption. Folate is involved in DNA methylation and may produce epigenetic changes that affect the gut microbial and host immune interactions[84]. Folic acid has been investigated in the past as a chemopreventive agent. The effect of folate supplementation on dysplasia and cancer in IBD was first reported by Lashner et al[85] in a case-control study. In this study, all patients with pancolitis of > 7-year duration (except those with known HGD and invasive cancer) in the surveillance program exposed to folate supplements were compared to the control group (patients in the surveillance program, no dysplasia and not exposed to folate). Although folate supplementation was associated with a 62% lower incidence of dysplasia or cancer, the duration, and dose of folate intake were unclear, and results did not reach statistical significance probably because it was underpowered. Another retrospective study by the same group reported that the relative risk of neoplasia was lower (0.54) with folate supplementation (after at least 6-mo of exposure). The authors concluded that daily folate supplementation may protect against the development of neoplasia in UC, although the results did not reach statistical significance.
The effects of folate supplementation were best summarised by a systematic review and meta-analysis by Burr et al[86] in which they included ten studies with low to moderate heterogeneity and a total of 4517 patients. The authors concluded that the results showed a pooled hazard ratio of 0.58 (95%CI: 0.37-0.80) suggesting an overall protective effect for folate supplementation on the development of IBD-CRC[86].
While there is weak evidence from retrospective studies in favour of folate supplementation, in the absence of prospective randomised data to support this, it is unlikely that folic acid will be used routinely for chemoprevention. At present, it is not part of guidelines by most national and international societies despite it being a cheap, safe, and well-tolerated supplement.
Surgery in the form of colectomy remains an important and effective strategy in preventing IBD-CRC, particularly in patients who have HGD or ‘indefinite’ dysplasia or invisible dysplasia detected on biopsies. Among visible lesions seen during endoscopy, polypoid lesions and some non-polypoid lesions with LGD in selective cases can generally be managed with endoscopic resection if full resection can be achieved, and further surveillance may be a reasonable option as per current guidelines[61].
However, non-polypoid lesions that cannot be managed endoscopically or the presence of invisible dysplasia regardless of degree are considered high-risk for progression to cancer and therefore recommended to undergo surgery[61].
The presence of visible dysplasia perhaps is relatively straightforward with the grade of dysplasia determining the intensity of future surveillance or need for surgery, but invisible dysplasia poses a challenge. Although the proportion of invisible dysplastic lesions is low due to the use of advanced endoscopic techniques[87], the detection of such lesions can present a dilemma in management, particularly because patients do not readily accept colectomy despite physician recommendations[88].
The risk of cancer with visible LGD has been known to be low with a larger body of evidence. In a retrospective study by Ten Hove et al[89], the incidence rate of advanced cancer was low at 1.34 per 100 years in patients with LGD after a follow-up of nearly 5 years, with no significant difference between chromoendoscopy and WLE and a systematic review by Kabir et al[90] reported a pooled estimated rate of cancer in visible LGD at 2.7%. However, there is very little data available on invisible dysplasia. In their systematic review, Kabir et al[90] reported that pooled estimates of cancer due to invisible HGD and invisible LGD were 11.4% and 2.4% respectively, based on two cohort studies and one case series. With such a high risk of progression to cancer, surgery should be considered as a serious and realistic option in reducing the risk of IBD-CRC.
Our better understanding of the human gut microbiome has opened up a new possibility of treatment for IBD and IBD-CRC[91]. Recent molecular level research on the gut microbiota using whole-genome sequencing technology has proved that some factors can alter the microbiome and the pathogenesis of IBD[92].
It has been hypothesized that diet plays a key role in the modulation of the gut microbiota composition. Gut microbiota in turn plays a major role in maintaining gut homeostasis and is associated with the modulation of host inflammatory and immune responses[93]. Studies have shown that nutritional components (added sugars, trans-fats, omega-6 fatty acids, red processed meat etc.) contribute to a chronic inflammatory condition by regulating various immune and inflammatory pathways[94,95]. Diet has been identified as one of the vital factors associated with CRC etiology[94,96].
Dietary therapy is also considered to be helpful, especially in children with CD who receive exclusive enteral nutrition[95,97]. Therefore, microbiome-modulating interventions like the application of probiotics[98,99], prebiotics[97,100,101], antibiotics, faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT)[102,103], and gene manipulation is being widely explored as new treatment options for a large number of chronic inflammatory diseases including UC, CD, and CRC. Genetic studies involving IBD patients reported 163 IBD susceptibility gene loci. These loci were found to be involved in regulating the host and gut microbes' interactions[104,105]. Mechanistically, it is plausible that by correcting the gut microbiota composition, the innate immune system can be modulated, leading to lesser inflammatory damage to the gut epithelium. This could enhance gut barrier function, prevent pathogen colonization and exert selective cytotoxicity against tumour cells[92]. These actions could break the vicious cycle of inflammation-mediated dysplasia.
Advanced endoscopic technologies: There have been several recent advances made with novel endoscopic technologies such as endocytoscopy, confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE), both of which allow examination of the bowel mucosa with histology-like images at 500-fold to 1000-fold magnification, allowing in vivo evaluation in real-time.
Endocytoscopy has been reported to be effective in recognising low-grade adenoma in the colon[106]. Its utility in IBD surveillance has not been evaluated thoroughly yet and is a subject of research. There is evidence that CLE is a useful tool in assessing dysplasia, with a stronger evidence base in the evaluation of Barrett’s oesophagus. It has been studied in the context of IBD and shown to increase the rate of detection of neoplastic lesions. In a consensus-based report on the applications of CLE, although there was wide agreement that CLE can detect dysplasia effectively in IBD[107], its adoption is limited by cost and lack of expertise. This is likely to change in the future as endoscopists become more familiar with the technology and wider use may drive down costs.
Full-spectrum endoscopy (FUSE) is an emerging technique that employs two lateral additional cameras to a standard colonoscope, allowing operators to view behind folds and blind spots. Leong and Koo[1] investigated its ability to detect dysplastic lesions in a robust study design involving patients undergoing surveillance. They prospectively randomised 52 patients to either standard colonoscopy or FUSE and then crossed over to the other group for a repeat procedure. FUSE missed significantly fewer dysplastic lesions compared to standard (25% vs 71.4%) with a slightly longer withdrawal time. Kudo et al[108] reported similar findings in their tandem colonoscopy trial. The advantages of this technique are apparent but are currently not part of guidelines and recommendations by relevant societies. Further research and familiarity with the technique are likely to encourage more clinicians to use this for surveillance.
Artificial intelligence: The next generation of advancement comes in the form of using artificial intelligence (AI) in endoscopy. AI is currently being used widely in innumerable areas and its applications are seemingly unlimited. AI in IBD has been evaluated by Stidham et al[109] where they found that performance of deep learning models was similar to experienced human reviewers when grading endoscopic severity in UC. AI built into endoscopic systems to aid detection of dysplastic lesions is currently a subject of research globally, with few early reports available in literature[110].
Microbiota modulation: The discovery of microbiota-regulated mucosal and systemic immune response pathways have opened up avenues to explore the impact of this response on the development of cancer immunotherapies. However, it should also be considered that an individual’s commensal gut microbiota keeps evolving and changing throughout the lifetime based on various environmental factors[23]. This phenomenon plays a pivotal role in phenotypic variation in disease development, progression, and therapeutic success among individuals. Therefore, it will not be wrong to hypothesize that future gut microbiota modulating therapies need to be personalized according to an individual’s microbiota.
IBD-related CRC is a serious complication that deserves attention. The evolution of strategies in reducing this risk over decades is interesting. Although surveillance is now the cornerstone of early detection of neoplasia, the key to reducing this risk is keeping patients in remission. It is encouraging that there are some signals of lowered risk of IBD-CRC recently but with increasing disease burden, we have to remain vigilant. Further research into exploring pathways involved in CRC will provide a better understanding and potential new targets to exploit, be it for new or repurposed drugs. The expansion in the use of advanced endoscopic techniques is likely to improve neoplasia detection and help patients. AI carries the potential to bring about a paradigm shift in endoscopy and surveillance but needs rigorous evaluation before it is deployed for routine clinical use. Lastly, modulation of microbiota may well be something to watch out for in the future as a reliable intervention in this cohort.
