“…Three were less than 30 years old, nine were in the fourth decade, and five were in the fifth decade. This supports the widely held view (Weckesser and Chinn, 1953;Bargen and Gage, 1960) that cancer following ulcerative colitis occurs at a younger age than does cancer of the large bowel not preceded by ulcerative colitis.…”

“…Among these patients the chance of developing carcinoma was about 30 times that of the general population. Several other recent studies confirm the unduly high risk of carcinoma in ulcerative colitis, particularly when the disease has lasted for 10 years or more (Kiefer et al, 1951-Counsell andDukes, 1952;Weckesser and Chinn, 1953;Dukes, 1954).…”

“…The exact incidence of malignant change varies, usually ranging from 1o% to 14% (Edwards and Truelove, 1964), whereas in the population at large the incidence is 0.06 % (Weckesser and Chinn, 1953). It is also accepted that the likelihood of developing a carcinoma increases with the duration of the colitis (Lagercrantz, 1955;Rosenqvist, Lagercrantz, Ohrling, and Edling, 1959;Slaney and Brooke, 1959), reaching definite clinical significance after 10 years (Hinton, 1966) and rising to an incidence of 56% after 30 years (de Dombal, Watts, Watkinson, and Goligher, 1966).…”
