Abstract:
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a group of chronic, non-specific inflammatory intestinal diseases.Patients with IBD predispose to the development of colitis-associated colon cancer (CACC).Homocysteine is an important intermediate metabolite in methionine cycle, increased level of homocysteine is closely correlated with the development and progression of IBD and CACC.This paper reviewed the advances in study on correlation of homocysteine with IBD and CACC.
