Patients with ulcerative colitis are more concerned about complications of their disease than side effects of medications.
The survey’s aim was to better understand what aspects of ulcerative colitis (UC) and UC management, are most concerning to patients, and how they would like to be informed about treatment options. It found that most patients (87 percent) wanted to share treatment decision making with their doctors. Patients were most concerned about the risk of colorectal cancer (37 percent), and the possible need for an ileostomy (29 percent).
