Awareness of inflammatory bowel disease-associated colorectal cancer risk and its management in patients with inflammatory bowel disease: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). While several studies have explored patients' general knowledge of IBD, less is known about their awareness of CRC risk and its management. This systematic review aimed to synthesize the available evidence on IBD patients' awareness of CRC risk and its related management strategies.

Methods

Medline, EMBASE, and PubMed databases were searched from inception to November 2023. All study designs and publication types were considered. Non-English studies and those assessing only general IBD knowledge were excluded. The appraisal tool for cross-sectional studies (AXIS) was used to assess the quality of studies.

Results

Twenty-three studies (17 papers and 6 conference
