Hi all,
I was reading up on Ulcerative Colitis on the 'net and one of the information sheets I found said that people with Ulcerative Colitis have a 5% chance of developing cancer (i'm guessing bowel /rectal).

Can anyone tell me if that's true or not?

Thanks in advance Smile

Thanks for your post. It has been established that ulcerative colitis have a greater chance of developing colon cancer. So it is really true.

regards,
Leo
