Rectal Cancer and Radiation in Colitis.
Clinics in Colon and Rectal Surgery 2024 January
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer. When IBD patients develop a rectal cancer, this should be treated with the same oncological principles and guidelines as the general population. Rectal cancer treatment includes surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy (RT).
