Hello. I’m Dr David Johnson, professor of medicine and chief of gastroenterology at Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk, Virginia.
The colonoscopic surveillance of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a standard practice recommendation, given their increased risk for colorectal cancer.
The American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) recently provided guidance for refining the endoscopic surveillance and management of colorectal dysplasia in IBD. Most recently, Dr Uma Mahadevan, an expert in the field of IBD, provided her top 10 recommendations in this area, which I think provide some wonderful granularity that build on the AGA consensus recommendations. Here are the highlights from Dr Mahadevan’s work.
