Ulcerative Colitis and Colorectal Carcinoma: DNA-Profile, Laminin-5 ?2 Chain and Cyclin A Expression as Early Markers for Risk Assessment

Abstract

Background: Ulcerative colitis patients are at increased risk for developing colorectal carcinomas. Despite expensive surveillance programmes, clinical practice reflects an uncertainty in individual risk assessment. The aim of the study was to evaluate independent cellular features with possible predictive value. Methods:
