Prognosis of chronic ulcerative colitis

Utilising the population based data resources of the Rochester Epidemiology Project, we estimated survival and risk of subsequent colon cancer in the 182 residents of Rochester, Minnesota, initally diagnosed with chronic ulcerative colitis (CUC) between 1935 and 1979. Twenty five (13.7%) had a proctocolectomy during the course of follow up. Three patients developed colorectal adenocarcinoma aft...
