Genomic Biomarkers to Improve Ulcerative Colitis Neoplasia Surveillance [PDF]
The American Journal of Pathology, 2008 No adequate means exist to identify the minority of ulcerative colitis (UC) patients destined to undergo neoplastic progression. Recognition of this subset would advance UC cancer surveillance by focusing the available management options onto the highest risk patients.
