Reappraising risk factors for inflammatory bowel disease-associated neoplasia: implications for colonoscopic surveillance in IBD.
One of the most feared complications of inflammatory bowel disease [IBD]-associated colitis is colorectal cancer. An opportunity for early detection is being missed in a group that is overlooked as high-risk, as a substantial proportion of colorectal cancers are being diagnosed in individuals with colonic IBD who have disease duration shorter than when guidelines recommend surveillance initiation. In this study, the investigators discuss a viewpoint that supports a paradigm shift that will ideally result in a more effective and higher-value colorectal cancer prevention approach in IBD.

Antiplatelets, anticoagulants, and colonoscopic polypectomy.
This article is a review of current best practice recommendations focusing on the risk of immediate and delayed postpolypectomy bleeding in the context of drug discontinuation or continuation of antiplatelet and anticoagulant drugs. Data was assessed whether cold snare vs conventional thermal-based polypectomy technology and prophylactic placement of hemostatic clips are endoscopic techniques that are beneficial in reducing polypectomy bleeding. Clinical takeaways are also provided to facilitate safer polypectomy among patients on antiplatelet and anticoagulant agents.
