Rocky,this one for u . (though my bro is very dear to me)

Chronic inflammatory bowel disease, such as ulcerative colitis, is a risk factor for the development of colorectal cancer. The risk increases with the duration and extent of the disease, early age of onset, and presence of primary sclerosing cholangitis. Patients with inflammatory bowel disease should regularly undergo surveillance colonoscopy with biopsies obtained from throughout the colon to detect dysplasia, which is a marker for possible colorectal cancer. Current guidelines recommend colonoscopy every 1 to 2 years for patients with pancolitis of 10 years or more duration.

Barium enema examination and virtual colonoscopy (CT colonography) do not allow biopsies for detection of early cancer or dysplasia and therefore are inappropriate for colorectal cancer surveillance.
