TNF-alpha antagonist stops inflammation-induced colon cancer in its tracks
Individuals with the inflammatory bowel disease ulcerative colitis are at increased risk of developing colon cancer. New data generated by Naofumi Mukaida and colleagues at Kanazawa University, Japan, identified a central role for the soluble factor TNF-alpha in the development of colon cancer in mice in which inflammation of the bowel was induced... view more...

Mesalamine linked to cancer protection for high risk inflammatory bowel disease patients
Researchers found that mesalamine use among patients with inflammatory bowel disease was associated with a decrease in incidence of colorectal cancer when comparing cases and controls. view more (2007-10-15)
Low folate levels may cut bowel cancer risk
Low levels of folate, a B vitamin found in fruits and leafy green vegetables, may cut the risk of bowel cancer, suggests research published ahead of print in the journal Gut. view more (2006-04-25)
Harrowing bowel preparation is unnecessary before colorectal surgery
Research news from The Cochrane Library Surgeons and other experts have long regarded mechanical bowel preparation to be an essential preventative measure before colorectal surgery. Recent evidence in The Cochrane Library, however, reveals that mechanical bowel cleansing does not significantly decrease the risk of anastomotic leakage or other... view more... (2003-10-20)
Researchers identify antibiotic protein that defends the intestine against microbial invaders
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have identified a protein that is made in the intestinal lining and targets microbial invaders, offering novel insights into how the intestine fends off pathogens and maintains friendly relations with symbiotic microbes. view more (2006-08-25)
UK's two week urgent referral standard for suspected bowel cancer hampered by system delays
The two week maximum wait to see a specialist for UK patients with suspected bowel cancer does not seem to be working well, if the results of one hospital's audit are anything to go by, suggests research in Gut. Although patients referred to the two week clinics were seen more quickly than patients referred elsewhere, they were not treated any... view more... (2004-02-11)

Prescription painkillers effective in patients with dormant inflammatory bowel disease
According to two studies published today in the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) journal Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology, prescription painkillers are effective in easing the pain of patients with dormant inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and are not likely to cause symptom flare-ups in IBD patients in remissions. view more (2006-02-03)
