Ursodiol and Colorectal Cancer or Dysplasia Risk in Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis and Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Meta-Analysis

Abstract: UDCA use was not associated with risk of colorectal cancer or dysplasia in adult PSC and IBD patients, but UDCA dose was a source of heterogeneity across studies. Subgroup analysis suggests a possible trend toward decreased colorectal cancer risk in low-to-medium-dose exposures. Additional study of UDCA treatments at low doses in PSC and IBD patients may be warranted.

“…A few early observational studies and two recent meta-analyses suggest UDCA may prevent CRC in IBD, particularly in those patients who also have primary sclerosing choleangitis (PSC). 138142, 143 However, some data suggest that high-doses of UDCA may actually increase the risk of CRC in UC patients with PSC. 144 But again, its strong biologic plausibility supports its continued investigation for use in IBD to reduce the risk of CRC.…”

“…As for colorectal cancer (CRC), the real impact of the use of UDCA remains unclear, with two studies suggesting a protective effect (92,93) , four studies noting no impact (94)(95)(96)(97) and one study indicating increased risk of CRC in UDCA users (98) . Recent meta-analysis found no association between the use of UDCA and the risk of CRC or dysplasia in adults with PSC and IBD (99) . Reflecting the controversy, while the American guidelines do not recommend the use of UDCA as a prophylaxis agent against CRC (75) , the European guidelines suggest its use for high-risk patients (those with extensive colitis, positive family history or previous CRC), although it recognizes that there is limited evidence (68) .…”

“…(67) However, more recent meta-analyses of population based studies have suggested that a chemoprevention benefit may not exist for all patients, particularly when considering the dose of UCDA used. (68, 69) This lack of benefit with prior chemoprevention studies may be in part due to variability in disease activity, extent, and presence of established risk factors, or the non-specific mechanism through which these agents inhibit inflammation and modulate cancer risk.…”
