Patient priorities in cancer and dysplasia treatment in IBD

Researchers at St Mark's Hospital are putting together a study on what's important to patients when managing dysplasia or cancer of the bowel. They want to understand how you weigh up the benefits and risks of possible treatments. 

Dysplasia is when there are unusual changes in cells that may become cancerous over time. This new study will look at how people with Crohn's or Colitis, who are at risk of dysplasia or cancer, make decisions between different management options, as well as what risks they are willing to accept to avoid permanent stoma or temporary stoma and pouch. 

If you decide to take part, you will complete a questionnaire that will take about 15 minutes to complete. During the questionnaire, you will be asked your treatment preferences, based on different scenarios. 

By hearing a high number of patient views, researchers are hoping to get a clear representation of what IBD patients nationally prioritise when making decisions about dysplasia and cancer treatment options. 

By entering your details, you are not committing to take part, but you will be redirected to the study page. You will have the opportunity to change your mind at any time.

This research study is NOT organised by Crohn's & Colitis UK and, therefore, we cannot take responsibility for your involvement in the research.
