  • I was just diagnosed with Crohn's, but there is a history of bowel cancer in my family. What should I look out for?

    You may be at a little increased risk for colon cancer because of your family history in your grandfather. Depending on the situation, your father or mother who is the child of the grandfather is at least twice as likely as the general population for colon cancer. If your Crohn's disease involves your colon, you are also at increased risk for colon cancer based on the Crohn's disease. Careful follow up with your gastroenterologist is essential both to manage your Crohn's but also for cancer risk stratification and appropriate screening. Jon Bern (M. Jonathan Bern MD) READ MORE
