In patients with ulcerative colitis (UC), dysplasia develops in 10%-20% of cases. The persistence of low-grade dysplasia (LGD) in UC in 2 consecutive observations is still an indication for restorative proctocolectomy. Our hypothesis is that in the case of weak cytotoxic activation, dysplasia persists. We aimed to identify possible immunological markers of LGD presence and persistence.

Abstract
In patients with ulcerative colitis (UC), dysplasia develops in 10%-20% of cases. The persistence of low-grade dysplasia (LGD) in UC in 2 consecutive observations is still an indication for restorative proctocolectomy. Our hypothesis is that in the case of weak cytotoxic activation, dysplasia persists. We aimed to identify possible immunological markers of LGD presence and persistence.File in questo prodotto:
