Yes. Some studies have shown as much as a five times increased risk in the development of intestinal cancer in patients with Crohns disease as compared to the general population. This should not make you panic however. More than 90% of IBD patients never develop cancers and because of the increased testing done on bowel disease patients those who do develop cancers are almost always caught early and survival rates are better than those who are not diagnosed as early.
