Bowel cancer prediction test for IBD patients 90% accurate
A new method for detecting bowel cancer is more than 90% accurate at predicting which higher-risk people will develop the disease, according to research. About 500,000 people in the UK live with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn's and ulcerative colitis.
ICR scientists develop algorithm that predicts bowel cancer risk in IBD patients
With types that include ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, IBD can cause pre-cancerous cells if the bowel lining remains inflamed and untreated. ICR London Centre for Evoluti
New bowel cancer test has ‘90% accuracy’ at predicting disease in those at high risk – without invasive procedures

ICR researchers uncover new method for predicting bowel cancer risk in IBD patients
Scientists from the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) have found a new method for predicting bowel cancer risk in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients. It is hoped that the test, which was found to be more than 90% accurate, will help inform treatment decisions for high-risk patients while giving peace of mind to those at a lower risk.
New bowel cancer prediction test is more than 90% accurate
A new DNA test developed in the UK can accurately predict whether high-risk patients will develop bowel cancer in the five years. People with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) — which includes conditions like ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s — are up to four times more likely to get this type of cancer,
