ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Chronic inflammation is a key factor for the development of colorectal cancer (CRC) among patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Despite the increased use of biologic agents in patients with IBD, their impact on colorectal carcinogenesis remains unclear. With the use of a large database, we sought to describe the effect of biologics on CRC among patients with IBD.METHODS:
We evaluated a multicenter database (Explorys) consisting of electronic medical records from several U.S. hospitals between 1999 and 2020. A cohort of patients with a diagnosis of IBD was identified. We performed a multivariate analysis to adjust for multiple factors including medical and surgical therapies.RESULTS:
There were a total of 62,007,510 patients in the database between 1999 and 2020. Amongst those, 225,090 (0.36%) individuals had Crohn's disease and 188,420 (0.30%) had ulcerative colitis. After adjusting for confounding factors using multivariate analysis, patients with IBD were more likely to develop CRC. Among the IBD cohort, patients treated with anti-TNF agents were less likely to develop CRC; patients with Crohn's disease odds ratio, 0.69; 95% confidence interval, 0.66-0.73; P < 0.0001 vs patients with ulcerative colitis odds ratio, 0.78; 95% confidence interval, 0.73-0.83; P < 0.0001.CONCLUSIONS:
Patients with IBD who were treated with anti-tumor necrosis factor agents were less likely to develop CRC. Prospective studies are needed to evaluate whether anti-tumor necrosis factor drugs provide a chemoprotective effect in patients with IBD by inflammation control and mucosal healing.Palavras-chave
