Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The prevalence of inflammatory bowel diseases is progressively increasing worldwide, affecting approximately six million patients. It is well established that the IBD-associated tissue damage process is induced by an exaggerated immune response against luminal antigens and that it is affected by genetic predisposition and environmental factors, although etiology remains unclear. An early and accurate diagnosis may still be a challenge, and there is a lack of “gold-standard” treatment; this may impact future management through a variety of complications and disabilities. This Special Issue will review all the diagnostic modalities with a focus on possible management-related consequences in order to achieve more precise and individualized care.
Dr. Vito Annese
Guest Editor
