“…Today, the rising incidence of IBD in Asia is an undisputable phenomenon, with both UC and CD incidence going up in the past decades. 1 In fact, most Asian countries have witnessed a twofold to threefold increase in IBD incidences, and the number is still on the rise.…”

“…In Brunei Darussalam, genetic testing for FAP and HNPCC is selectively only for known family history of CRC syndrome and is referred to overseas centres for testing. The incidence of IBDs remains low but there is an increasing trend, and this trend is seen worldwide (Ng et al, 2018) and in Brunei Darussalam . Generally, manifestations of IBDs in the Asian setting are milder than those reported from the West (Wang et al, 2007).…”

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer worldwide after lung and breast cancers, and ranks second in terms of cancer mortality globally. Brunei Darussalam reports high incidence of CRC in the Southeast Asian region and has no formal national screening programme for CRC. Screening for CRC in Brunei Darussalam is offered in an opportunistic fashion for individuals with average or above average risks for CRC, that is, the individual has a positive family history of CRC or neoplasms and is more than 50 years old. Opportunistic screening is widely practiced but this is not standardised. The Ministry of Health in Brunei Darussalam is currently in the process of implementing a CRC screening programme as part of a larger national health screening based on the increasing incidence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). This review article assesses the situation of CRC in Brunei Darussalam from the 1980s to present day, including incidence of CRC in different age groups, ethnicities and genders; relevant non-modifiable and modifiable risk factors of CRC in Brunei Darussalam setting; and common CRC screening techniques used in Brunei Darussalam as well as other Asia-Pacific countries. The review also discusses the merits of a national CRC screening programme.With the increasing incidence of CRC worldwide and in Brunei Darussalam, national screening for CRC in Brunei Darussalam is an important strategy to lower morbidity and mortality rates. A review of the progress and outcome of the national screening programme will be available a few years after rollout.

“…Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is one of the most common autoimmune gastrointestinal diseases seen in children. This disease is found worldwide affecting up to 0.3% of the population 8,9 . Active inflammation in either disease can be associated with abdominal pain, change in bowel habits, and other systemic symptoms including fatigue, weakness, and weight loss.…”
