Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) involves chronic inflammation in the patient’s digestive track, leading to the development of ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. IBD is painful and debilitating disease that develops into life threatening risk in the long run, particularly colorectal carcinoma (CRC). As per the studies, there are 18% of chances for the IBD to develop into colorectal carcinoma after 30 years. Although IBD is contributing to only 1% of overall Colorectal Cancer cases, the mortality rate is pretty high among the colorectal cancer developed due to IBD.
