Risks for lymphoma and gastrointestinal carcinoma in patients with newly diagnosed adult-onset celiac disease: Consequences for follow-up: Celiac disease, lymphoma and GI carcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The association between celiac disease (CD) and the development of lymphoid and gastrointestinal (GI) malignancies have been reported. However, data are scarce yet needed to develop evidence-based follow-up programs.

Objective

The objective of this article is to assess relative (RR) and absolute risks of lymphoma and GI carcinoma for newly diagnosed patients.

Methods

A case-control design to determine RR was performed with cases (lymphoma or GI carcinoma) and controls (melanoma or basal cell carcinoma) diagnosed 1994-2014, retrieved from the Dutch nationwide population-based pathology database (PALGA). Within this population, individuals with histologically proven CD before or simultaneously diagnosed with the malignancy were identified.
