A Population-Based Matched Cohort Study of Digestive System Cancer Incidence and Mortality in Individuals With and Without Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Am J Gastroenterol 2024:00000434-990000000-01207. [PMID: 38916226 DOI: 10.14309/ajg.0000000000002900] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2024] [Accepted: 06/12/2024] [Indexed: 06/26/2024]
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.

Abstract
Patients with inflammatory bowel disease may be at higher risk of developing lymphomas and other cancers of the gastrointestinal tract. In addition, there may be a link between the use of thiopurines or anti-tumor necrosis factor drugs (anti-TNF) and these pathologies. The treatment of patients with Crohn's disease who have previously been diagnosed with lymphoma is a challenge for gastroenterologists. In this report, we examine important clinical issues related to the treatment of patients with inflammatory bowel disease with active lymphoma, as well as of patients with hematological cancer history. In this discussion, we take into account most of the available treatments for inflammatory bowel disease, as well as the impact of chronic inflammation and viral infections. In addition, we try to find common ground for the development of lymphoproliferative disorders and autoimmune diseases. Patients with inflammatory bowel disease may be at higher risk of developing lymphomas and other cancers of the gastrointestinal tract. Chronic inflammatory processes and viral infections play an important role in carcinogenesis. In addition, there may be a link between the use of thiopurines or anti-TNF drugs and these pathologies. A significant risk of the development of lymphoma in people undergoing each therapy should be considered, and it should be estimated how much greater this risk will be in patients with a history of lymphoproliferative disorders. The following review is an attempt to answer which therapy would be the most appropriate for patients with Crohn's disease and a history of lymphoma treatment. A lack of clear guidelines creates great challenges for doctors.

Front Med (Lausanne) 2023; 10:1172634. [PMID: 37206474 PMCID: PMC10188968 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2023.1172634] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2023] [Accepted: 04/14/2023] [Indexed: 05/21/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction Over the past 20 years, the increasing use of combined therapy with immunosuppressants and biologic agents has markedly reduced the use of steroids in the management of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). However, medical therapy seems to promote, in the long run, carcinogenesis resulting in an increased risk of developing different types of malignancies, including lymphomas. The aim of this study was to systematically review the current incidence and prognosis of lymphoid neoplasms occurring in patients with IBD. Methods Studies analyzing the incidence of lymphomas in subjects of age >18 years affected by IBD were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis. Studies focusing on pediatric populations, not reporting person-years of follow-up, or with a duration < 1 year were excluded. PubMed, Embase, Web of Science Core Collection, and Cochrane Central Register were searched from inception through January 2022. Publication bias within studies was assessed using Begg's and Egger's tests and random effects model. Quantitative results were synthesized using relative-risk meta-analysis. PRISMA guidelines were used to carry out this systematic review (PROSPERO Registration Number: CRD42023398348). Results A total of 345 studies published between 1985 and 2022, with a total of 6,17,386 patients were included in the meta-analysis. Substantial heterogeneity between studies prevented the pooling of estimates (I2 = 97.19%). Evidence of publication bias was overall low (p = 0.1941). Patients affected by Crohn's disease (CD) were 1,86,074 (30.13%), while 2,78,876 (46.17%) were diagnosed with UC. The remaining 23.7% of cases were diagnosed with indeterminate colitis. Immunomodulators and biologic therapy were used in 24,520 (5.27%), and 17,972 (3.86%) patients, respectively. Reported incidence rates for lymphoma in IBD ranged from 0.0/100,000 person/years (py) (95% CI 0.0-3.7/100,000) to 89/100,000 py (95% CI 36-160/100,000). Reported incidence rates of lymphoma in CD ranged from 0.0/100,000 py (95% CI 0.0-3.7/100,000) to 91/100,000 py (95% CI 18-164/100,000). For UC, the incidence rate ranged from 0.0/100,000 py (95% CI 0.0-3.7/100,000) to 95/100,000 py (95% CI 0-226/100,000). Male-to-female ratio was ~4:1. Therapy with immunomodulators was directly associated with an increased incidence of lymphoma (p < 0.0001). Evidence of publication bias was overall low (p = 0 .1941). Conclusions The evidence arising from this study highlights a correlation between the use of immunomodulators and subsequent lymphoma development. Combined multidisciplinary approach and long-term follow-up are warranted in order to decrease mortality deriving from the coexistence of both conditions.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to determine whether the use of drugs in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease is related to the risk of colorectal cancer using a Cox proportional hazards model with the landmark method to minimize immortal time bias. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study was conducted as national cohort-based study using data from Korea's Health Insurance Corporation. Newly diagnosed patients with inflammatory bowel disease from 2006 to 2010 were monitored for colorectal cancer until 2015. Hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals were calculated and compared with the incidence of colorectal cancer with or without medications by applying various landmark points. RESULTS In patients with Crohn's disease, the prevention of colorectal cancer in the group exposed to immunomodulators was significant in the basic Cox model; however, the effect was not statistically significant in the model using the landmark method. The preventive effect of 5-aminosalicylic acid in patients with ulcerative colitis was significant in the basic and 6-month landmark point application models, but not in the remaining landmark application models. CONCLUSION In patients with inflammatory bowel disease, the preventive effect of drug exposure on colorectal cancer varies depending on the application of the landmark method. Hence, the possibility of immortal time bias should be considered.

Abstract
Introduction Thrombo-inflammatory biomarkers play an important role in the pathogenesis of lymphoma. We aimed to characterize the interrelationship of thrombo-inflammatory biomarkers and blood cellular indices in lymphoma patients. Materials and Methods Ninety-eight lymphoma patient samples were collected from Lymphoma Center of Clinic of Hematology, University of Belgrade, Serbia. Normal controls (n = 50) represented plasma from healthy individuals. Plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-1), D-Dimer, factor XIII, C-reactive protein (CRP), microparticles (Mp), Von Willebrand factor (vWF), total protein S, urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA), tumor necrosis factor (TNFα), β2-glycoprotein I (β2GPI), and fibronectin levels were measured utilizing commercially-available ELISA methods. Thrombin generation profile (TGA) was measured using a fluorometric kinetic assay. Platelets, leukocytes, lymphocytes, and neutrophils were measured in conjunction with the complete blood profile. Results Statistically significant differences were noted in levels of PAI-1, D-Dimer, factor XIII, CRP, microparticles, vWF, uPA, TNFα, β2GPI, fibronectin, and TGA when compared to normal (all P values < .001). Platelet to leukocyte ratio (PLA) correlated to TNFα and fibronectin (R = −0.31 and −0.53, respectively) and the platelet to neutrophil ratio (PNR) correlated to factor XIII and β2GPI (R = 0.40 and 0.40, respectively). Conclusion Plasma samples from lymphoma patients demonstrated a significantly altered thrombo-inflammatory biomarker profile that has notable correlations to blood cellular indices.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lymphoma is a dreaded complication of inflammatory bowel diseases [IBD]. Knowledge about lymphoma in patients with IBD is limited to epidemiological data and the description of risk factors. We performed a systematic review to describe the clinical characteristics and prognosis of lymphoma in patients with IBD. METHODS Electronic databases were searched up to June 1, 2020. All published clinical characteristics of lymphoma occurring in patients with IBD were collected. RESULTS Eleven studies were included. A total of 589 lymphomas were described in patients with IBD. As seen in de novo lymphoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma [NHL] was the most common histological subtype [83.9%]. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma [DLBCL] and follicular lymphoma were the most well-represented NHL in patients with IBD [30% and 13% respectively]. Two main differences were observed in comparison with de novo lymphoma: primary intestinal lymphoma [PIL] represented a large proportion of lymphoma in patients with IBD [22-75%] whereas mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue [MALT] lymphoma was under-represented. Epstein-Barr virus [EBV]-positive status was observed in a large proportion of tumours [44-75%]. Survival data of lymphoma in patients with IBD were similar to those of de novo lymphoma. DISCUSSION This systematic review first highlights that PIL [especially DLBCL subtype] is significantly more frequent in patients with IBD and represents the most common entity. Conversely, MALT lymphoma is extremely rare in the IBD population. However, the overall quality of the evidence is low. Further studies are required to better define lymphoma characteristics in patients with IBD.

Abstract
A 31-year-old man with Crohn's disease in remission after 6-year treatment with infliximab developed nasopharyngeal diffuse large B cell lymphoma. Infliximab was discontinued, and complete remission was achieved following chemotherapy with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone. However, the patient subsequently experienced severely symptomatic Crohn's disease relapse. Therapy with adalimumab was initiated, and the patient attained remission. However, after 3 months, he suffered a recurrence of the lymphoma. Adalimumab was discontinued, and the patient received further chemotherapy (with rituximab, etoposide, cisplatin, methylprednisolone, and high-dose cytarabine) treatment and underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Following the procedure, Crohn's disease and lymphoma have remained in complete remission for 5 years. There are limited reports on Crohn's disease remission after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Therefore, we present this case report and a review of the existing literature on allogeneic stem cell transplantation for Crohn's disease.

Abstract
Hematopoietic neoplasms involving the spleen are uncommon, but T cell neoplasms involving the spleen are extremely rare. The rarity of splenic involvement by T cell neoplasms has resulted in a limited body of literature describing their splenic characteristics. As a result, our purpose in this review article is to provide and summarize some of the characteristics seen by different T cell neoplasms that may involve the spleen.

Systematic review with meta-analysis: comparative risk of lymphoma with anti-tumour necrosis factor agents and/or thiopurines in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Aliment Pharmacol Ther 2020; 52:1289-1297. [PMID: 32840893 DOI: 10.1111/apt.16050] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2020] [Revised: 05/26/2020] [Accepted: 07/29/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The risk of lymphoma in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) treated with anti-TNF agents remains unclear. AIM To assess the comparative risk of lymphoma with anti-TNF agents and/or thiopurines in IBD METHODS: We searched PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane Library to identify studies that evaluated lymphoproliferative disorders associated with anti-TNF agents with or without thiopurines. The risk of lymphoma was assessed through four comparator groups: combination therapy (anti-TNF plus thiopurine), anti-TNF monotherapy, thiopurine monotherapy and control group. Pooled incidence rate ratios (IRR) were estimated through Poisson-normal models. RESULTS Four observational studies comprising 261 689 patients were included. As compared with patients unexposed to anti-TNF and thiopurines, those exposed to anti-TNF monotherapy, thiopurine monotherapy or combination therapy had pooled IRR (per 1000 patient-years) of lymphoma of 1.52 (95% CI: 1.06-2.19; P = 0.023), 2.23 (95% CI: 1.79-2.79; P < 0.001) and 3.71 (95% CI: 2.30-6.00; P ≤ 0.01), respectively. The risk of lymphoma associated with combination therapy was higher than with thiopurines or anti-TNF alone with pooled IRR of 1.70 (95% CI: 1.03-2.81; P = 0.039) and 2.49 (95% CI: 1.39-4.47; P = 0.002), respectively. The risk did not differ between anti-TNF monotherapy and thiopurine monotherapy with pooled IRR of 0.72 (95% CI: 0.48-1.07; P = 0.107). All observational studies were of high quality according to the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. CONCLUSIONS There is an increased risk of lymphoma in IBD patients treated with anti-TNF agents, either alone or when combined with thiopurines.

Abstract
Anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha (ATA) therapy plays a significant role in the treatment of moderate to severe inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). There are concerns regarding risks associated with their use, including malignancy and, specifically, lymphoma. Many previous studies have sought to determine whether there is a true link between ATA therapy in IBD and development of lymphoma. However they have been hindered by short follow-up times, few cases, and confounding factors such as previous thiopurine exposure. This review seeks to update the literature by evaluating more recent studies assessing the link between ATA monotherapy and lymphoma development. It also summarizes findings of those studies and provides additional clinical guidance pertaining to this class of biologic therapy. ![]()

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Both the chronic inflammation in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and its treatment, can increase the risk of malignancy. There is also an increasing number of patients with current and prior cancer who require IBD treatment. Thus, there is a complex interplay between immunosuppressive treatment and monitoring for new and recurrent cancer. RECENT FINDINGS Vedolizumab and ustekinumab have not been shown to increase the risk of malignancy. Transplant data shows a potential risk with tofacitinib although rheumatoid arthritis data does not. IBD patients have been shown to tolerate chemotherapy, specifically with cytotoxic compared with hormonal chemotherapy. Patients with prior cancer are at increased risk of new or recurrent cancers; however, immunosuppression appears to be safe. Emerging treatments for IBD have demonstrated acceptable safety profiles for malignancy risk, and immunosuppression appears to be safe for use in patients with current and prior malignancy. More data is still needed to assess long-term risk of malignancy in these patients, especially with newer treatments.
