A member asked:

What are the chances of getting colon cancer with crohns?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Higher than without: Crohns. How much higher is not clear, but the risk of colon cancer is higher in patients with crohns. This warrants a closer screening and you should follow your doctor's advice. See this site for more info. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/pmc2700422/.
