Abstract
INTRODUCTION To study digestive system cancer risks in individuals with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) in the biologic era. METHODS We used population-level administrative and cancer registry data from Ontario, Canada, (1994-2020) to compare people with IBD to matched controls (1:10 by sex and birth year) on trends in age-sex standardized cancer incidence and risk ratios of incident cancers and cancer-related deaths. RESULTS Among 110,919 people with IBD and 1,109,190 controls, colorectal cancer incidence (per 100,000 person-years) declined similarly in people with ulcerative colitis (average annual percentage change [AAPC] -1.81; 95% confidence interval [CI] -2.48 to -1.156) and controls (AAPC -2.79; 95% CI -3.44 to -2.14), while small bowel cancer incidence rose faster in those with Crohn's disease (AAPC 9.68; 95% CI 2.51-17.3) than controls (AAPC 3.64; 95% CI 1.52-5.80). Extraintestinal digestive cancer incidence rose faster in people with IBD (AAPC 3.27; 95% CI 1.83-4.73) than controls (AAPC -1.87; 95% CI -2.33 to -1.42), particularly for liver (IBD AAPC 8.48; 95% CI 4.11-13.1) and bile duct (IBD AAPC 7.22; 95% CI 3.74-10.8) cancers. Beyond 2010, the incidences (and respective mortality rates) of colorectal (1.60; 95% CI 1.46-1.75), small bowel (4.10; 95% CI 3.37-4.99), bile duct (2.33; 95% CI 1.96-2.77), and pancreatic (1.19; 95% CI 1.00-1.40) cancers were higher in people with IBD. DISCUSSION Cancer incidence is declining for colorectal cancer and rising for other digestive cancers in people with IBD. Incidence and mortality remain higher in people with IBD than controls for colorectal, small bowel, bile duct, and pancreatic cancers.

Rare and severe adverse events in children with inflammatory bowel disease: analysis of data from the PIBD-SETQuality Safety Registry. THE LANCET. CHILD & ADOLESCENT HEALTH 2024; 8:422-432. [PMID: 38697175 DOI: 10.1016/s2352-4642(24)00078-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2024] [Revised: 03/21/2024] [Accepted: 03/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/04/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Rare and severe adverse events can occur in children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and the relationship with disease or drug treatment is often uncertain. We aimed to establish a method of reporting adverse events of interest in children with IBD, allowing for estimates of incidence rates with comparison between different regions, and, if possible, to compare with published data on rates of adverse events in children overall. METHODS For this analysis, we used data from the Paediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease Network for Safety, Efficacy and Treatment and Quality improvement of care (PIBD-SETQuality) Safety Registry, which collects data on multiple rare and severe adverse events in children younger than 19 years with IBD. Overall, the registry collected data on ten prespecified rare and severe adverse events in children with IBD, as established by a panel of paediatric IBD experts, via reports from paediatric gastroenterologists at participating hospitals between Nov 1, 2016, and March 31, 2023. Reporting physicians, who could only be paediatric gastroenterologists or IBD nurses reporting on behalf of paediatric gastroenterologists, were recruited through invitations sent to both national and international IBD networks and at conferences. Once per month, participating paediatric gastroenterologists received an email with an anonymous and unique link to an online survey asking them to report whether any of ten rare and severe adverse events had occurred in a patient in their paediatric-IBD population in the previous month. Prevalent or retrospective rare and severe adverse events were excluded, as were events occurring in children with an unconfirmed diagnosis of IBD or for whom inflammatory colitis was part of a monogenic immunodeficiency disorder. Duplicates and events that did not meet the definitions and criteria were excluded. Physicians could also report other, non-categorised adverse events if they considered them rare and severe. In case of no response, up to two reminders were sent for each per-month survey. Annual denominator data surveys were sent to obtain the total number of person-years for the estimation of incidence rates, which were calculated via Poisson regression models. FINDINGS Responses were gathered from 220 paediatric gastroenterologists from 167 centres. 121 centres were in Europe, 23 centres were in North America, 17 centres were in Asia, and six centres were in Oceania. Combined, the total population with paediatric IBD consisted of an estimated 30 193 children with 114 528 person-years of follow-up. 451 adverse events were initially reported. After excluding and reorganising adverse events, 402 were eligible; 261 (65%) were categorised and 141 (35%) were non-categorised. The most frequently reported adverse events were venous-thromboembolic events (n=66), renal failure (n=43), opportunistic infections (n=42), and cancer (n=33). Haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (n=4) and liver failure (n=3) were the least frequently reported adverse events. Incidence rates per 10 000 person-years were 5·50 (95% CI 4·25-6·97) for venous-thromboembolic events, 3·75 (2·74-4·99) for renal failure, 3·67 (2·67-4·89) for opportunistic infection, and 2·88 (2·01-3·98) for cancer. Of 66 venous-thromboembolic events, 31 (47%) involved cerebral venous sinus thrombosis at an incidence rate of 2·71 (95% CI 1·86-3·77). INTERPRETATION The PIBD-SETQuality Safety Registry enabled us to identify incidence rates of rare and severe adverse events in children with IBD. Our findings can guide physicians and enhance awareness of the incidence of adverse events in children with IBD that are considered to be rare.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle weakness is a debilitating consequence of many malignancies. Muscle weakness has a negative impact on both patient wellbeing and outcome in a range of cancer types and can be the result of loss of muscle mass (i.e. muscle atrophy, cachexia) and occur independently of muscle atrophy or cachexia. There are multiple cancer specific triggers that can initiate the progression of muscle weakness, including the malignancy itself and the tumour environment, as well as chemotherapy, radiotherapy and malnutrition. This can induce weakness via different routes: 1) impaired intrinsic capacity (i.e., contractile dysfunction and intramuscular impairments in excitation-contraction coupling or crossbridge cycling), 2) neuromuscular disconnection and/or 3) muscle atrophy. The mechanisms that underlie these pathways are a complex interplay of inflammation, autophagy, disrupted protein synthesis/degradation, and mitochondrial dysfunction. The current lack of therapies to treat cancer-associated muscle weakness highlight the critical need for novel interventions (both pharmacological and non-pharmacological) and mechanistic insight. Moreover, most research in the field has placed emphasis on directly improving muscle mass to improve muscle strength. However, accumulating evidence suggests that loss of muscle function precedes atrophy. This review primarily focuses on cancer-associated muscle weakness, independent of cachexia, and provides a solid background on the underlying mechanisms, methodology, current interventions, gaps in knowledge, and limitations of research in the field. Moreover, we have performed a mini-systematic review of recent research into the mechanisms behind muscle weakness in specific cancer types, along with the main pathways implicated.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with complex complications that may lead to tumors. However, research on the mechanisms underlying susceptibility to chronic immune diseases and cancer pathogenesis triggered by the inflammatory environment remains limited. An imbalance in the host gut microbiota often accompanies intestinal inflammation. The delayed recovery of the dysregulated intestinal microbiota may exacerbate systemic inflammatory responses, multiorgan pathology, and metabolic disorders. This delay may also facilitate bacterial translocation. This review examined the relationship between gut barrier disruption and unbalanced microbial translocation and their impact on the brain, liver, and lungs. We also explored their potential roles in tumor initiation. Notably, the role of the intestinal microbiota in the development of inflammation is linked to the immune surveillance function of the small intestine and the repair status of the intestinal barrier. Moreover, adherence to a partially anti-inflammatory diet can aid in preventing the malignant transformation of inflammation by repairing the intestinal barrier and significantly reducing inflammation. In conclusion, enhancing intestinal barrier function may be a novel strategy for preventing and treating chronic malignancies in the intestine and other body areas.

Abstract
Background Patients with Crohn's disease (CD) are most often diagnosed as young adults; therefore, long-term studies are needed to assess the risk of cancer over their lifetime. Thus, the aims of the present study were to determine the risk of cancer in a Norwegian population-based cohort (the Inflammatory Bowel South Eastern Norway [IBSEN] study), 30 years after diagnosis, and to assess whether patients with CD were at an increased risk of specific cancer types. Methods The IBSEN cohort prospectively included all incident patients diagnosed between 1990 and 1993. Data on cancer incidence were obtained from the Cancer Registry of Norway. Overall and cancer-specific hazard ratios (HRs) for CD patients compared with age- and sex-matched controls were modeled using Cox regression. Standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) were estimated compared to the general population. Results In total, the cohort included 237 patients with CD, and 36 of them were diagnosed with cancer. Compared to the general Norwegian population, patients with CD had an increased overall risk of cancer (HR = 1.56, 95% CI: 1.06-2.28), particularly male patients (HR = 1.85, 95% CI: 1.08-3.16). The incidence of lung cancer and nonmelanoma skin cancer was increased; however, the difference was not statistically significant (SIR = 2.29, 95% CI: 0.92-4.27 and SIR = 2.45, 95% CI: 0.67-5.37, respectively). Conclusions After 30 years of follow-up, the risk of all cancers in patients with CD was increased compared to the general population.

Abstract
Legius syndrome (LS) is a rare and underrecognized disorder that is often misdiagnosed as neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). It is characterized by café-au-lait macules without the tumoral manifestations of NF1. We report the case of an 11-year-old patient with multiple café-au-lait macules and intertriginous freckling who was admitted for bloody stools, joint pain, and weight loss. His clinical and endoscopic findings were consistent with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). He also met the clinical diagnostic criteria for NF1 but not for LS. Genetic testing played a pivotal role in the differential diagnosis and revealed a loss-of-function mutation in the SPRED1 gene, confirming the diagnosis of LS. This is the first reported case of a patient with IBD and LS. The subtle manifestations of LS make it an underdiagnosed disease, which reduces the likelihood of it being diagnosed in association with other diseases, such as IBD. There are, however, 10 published case reports linking IBD and NF1, and some pathophysiological mechanisms have been proposed. Continued reporting will help clarify the relationship between IBD and RASopathies such as NF1 and LS.

Abstract
Cancer is a major cause of morbidity and mortality among people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Intestinal cancers may arise as a complication of IBD itself, while extra-intestinal cancers may arise due to some of the immunosuppressive therapies used to treat IBD. Colorectal cancer (CRC) and small bowel cancer risks remain elevated among persons with IBD as compared to age-and sex-matched members of the general population, and the lifetime risk of these cancers is strongly correlated to cumulative intestinal inflammatory burden. However, the cumulative risk of cancer, even among those with IBD is still low. Some studies suggest that IBD-CRC incidence has declined over the years, possibly owing to improved treatment standards and improved detection and management of early neoplastic lesions. Across studies of extra-intestinal cancers, there are generally higher incidences of melanoma, hepatobiliary cancer, and lung cancer and no higher incidences of breast cancer or prostate cancer, with equivocal risk of cervical cancer, among persons with IBD. While the relative risks of some extra-intestinal cancers are increased with treatment, the absolute risks of these cancers remain low and the decision to forego treatment in light of these risks should be carefully weighed against the increased risks of intestinal cancers and other disease-related complications with undertreated inflammatory disease. Quality improvement efforts should focus on optimized surveillance of cancers for which surveillance strategies exist (colorectal cancer, hepatobiliary cancer, cervical cancers, and skin cancers) and the development of cost-effective surveillance strategies for less common cancers associated with IBD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Children and adolescents with Crohn's disease present unique challenges due to extensive disease at diagnosis and the effect of bowel inflammation on growth. Historical approaches with corticosteroids and immunomodulators are far less effective than early treatment with anti-TNF biologics. AREAS COVERED This review covers recent literature delineating the crucial role of early anti-TNF therapy in the treatment of moderate- to- severe Crohn's disease in children and adolescents. The potential risks and benefits of concomitant immunomodulators are discussed, along with therapeutic anti-TNF drug monitoring, and reassessment by endoscopy and cross-sectional imaging to evaluate success beyond symptom control. EXPERT OPINION Standard of care therapy for moderate-to-severe pediatric Crohn's disease now entails precision dosing of anti-TNF therapy with periodic reassessment of bowel inflammation. The role of dietary modification continues to evolve. Current and future efforts need to be directed to elucidating ways to predict response to anti-TNF therapy and quickly changing to agents with other mechanisms of action when needed. Inordinate regulatory delays in approval of new therapies approved for adults continue to handicap pediatric clinicians and frequently limits their treatment choices, or forces them to give medications "off label." Only a concerted effort by clinicians, pharma, and regulators will improve this situation.

BMC Gastroenterol 2023; 23:199.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Birth cohort studies with linked register-based data on inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) provide opportunities to prospectively study early-life determinants of the disease. However, register-based data often lack information on clinical characteristics and rely on diagnostic algorithms. Within the All Babies in Southeast Sweden (ABIS) cohort, we examined the validity of a register-based definition of IBD, its incidence, and clinical and therapeutic characteristics at diagnosis. METHODS We followed 16,223 children from birth (1997-1999) until the end of 2020 for the diagnosis of IBD as defined by a minimum of two diagnostic codes for IBD in the Swedish National Patient Register (NPR). We described the incidence and cumulative incidence of IBD. Through a medical record review of cases diagnosed by the end of 2017, we examined the positive predictive value (PPV) for IBD and described its clinical characteristics and treatment. RESULTS By 2020, at an average age of 22.2 years, 113 participants (0.74%, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.61-0.89) had a register-based diagnosis of IBD, corresponding to an incidence of 31.3 per 100,000 person-years of follow-up; the incidence for Crohn's disease (CD) was 11.1 per 100,000 person-years and 15.8 for ulcerative colitis (UC). Of 77 participants with a register-based definition of IBD by the end of 2017, medical records were identified for 61 participants, of whom 57 had true IBD (PPV = 93%; 95%CI = 0.87-1.00). While oral 5-aminosalicylic acid treatment was equally common in newly diagnosed CD and UC patients, biologics were more often used for newly diagnosed CD. The median faecal calprotectin levels were 1206 mg/kg at diagnosis and 93 mg/kg at the last follow-up (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS In this population-based sample of Swedish children and young adults the cumulative IBD incidence was 0.74. The validity of register-based definition of IBD was high and supports using such data to identify IBD patients in cohort studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Paediatric-onset IBD (pIBD) is associated with an increased risk of cancer and mortality in adulthood. The aims of this study were to measure the incidence of cancer and mortality in patients with pIBD and identify factors associated with mortality and cancer. METHODS All patients diagnosed with Crohn's disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC) before the age of 17 years between 1988 and 2011 in the EPIMAD registry, were retrospectively followed until 2013 for cancer and 2015 for mortality. Standardized incidence (SIR) and mortality ratios (SMR) were estimated compared to the general population. Cox regression was used to compare effect of exposures on cancer and mortality among IBD patients. RESULTS We included 1,344 patients (52% males, 75% CD), totalising 12,957 patient-years for cancer incidence and 18,817 patient-years for mortality. There were 14 cases of cancer (median age 27.8 years) and 15 deaths (median age 28.8 years). The incidence of cancer and of mortality were increased compared to the general population: all-cancer SIR = 2.7 (95%CI: 1.5-4.8), SMR = 1.7 (95%CI: 1.0-2.8). Colorectal cancer had the highest SIR and SMR: SIR=41.2 (95%CI: 17.2-99.0), SMR=70.4 (95%CI 22.7-218.2). Cancer was associated with (HR, 95%CI): active smoking at diagnosis (5.5, 1.8-16.5), p=0.002, any exposure to anti-TNF (6.1, 1.7-22.3), p=0.0065 and exposure to combination therapy (7.4, 1.8-29.7), p=0.0047. Mortality was associated with extraintestinal manifestations (HR 4.9 (95% CI: 1.7-13.8), p=0.003). CONCLUSIONS In this large population-based cohort, patients with pIBD had an increased risk of both cancer (2.7-fold) and mortality (1.7-fold), particularly for colorectal cancer.
