Recommendations of the Spanish Working Group on Crohn's disease and Ulcerative Colitis (Grupo Español de Trabajo en Enfermedad de Crohn y Colitis Ulcerosa - GETECCU) on dysplasia screening in inflammatory bowel disease patients.

Colonic inflammatory bowel diseases have a higher risk of developing colorectal cancer compared to the general population, which is why they require endoscopic screening techniques with specific follow-up intervals based on the different risk factors described on the literature. This position paper analyzes the current scientific evidence for the different endoscopic techniques available today, how their implementation should be carried out in endoscopic units and describes in detail how their implementation should be carried out, in which patients and with what interval, and finally, what should be the response to finding dysplasia, proposing a specific follow-up algorithm.
