Introduction
Colectomy rates for acute indications in ulcerative colitis (UC) have been decreas­ing during the last two decades [14]. This is due in part to more effective medical therapy, resulting in higher remission rates. On the other hand, operative manage­ment of ulcerative colitis appears to be slowly increasing for oncological indica­tions, as a consequence of a more chronic course of the disease [5]. Risks factors for CRC development in patients with UC are extent and duration of the disease espe­cially with early age at diagnosis [6, 7]. As a consequence, with improved medical therapy resulting in a prolonged duration of chronic disease, the incidence of dys­plasia and malignancy in UC is expected to increase [5].
Historically, the treatment UC dysplasia has been surgical. Proctocolectomy has been the traditional approach, due to the high risk of multifocality. However, in the last decade, endoscopic management has been shown to be a treatment option for early and limited dysplasia in high volume centres [8, 9]. The aim of this chapter is to present the scientic evidence in support of endoscopic and surgical approaches for UC associated colonic dysplasia.

Search Strategy (PICO Table)
A comprehensive literature search of all English-language publications was done on PubMed using the following terms “dysplasia, ulcerative colitis, neoplasia, dyspla­sia associated mass lesion (DALM), adenoma like lesion (ALM), endoscopic sub­mucosal dissection, inammatory bowel disease (IBD)”. The search was limited to manuscripts published between January 1st, 1980 and December 31st, 2022. All references in each manuscript identied from the PubMed search were then indi­vidually reviewed and examined for potential inclusion if appropriate.

Risk Factors forDysplasia andCancer inPatients withUlcerative Colitis
In contrast with sporadic colorectal cancer, colitis associated CRCs do not follow the adenoma-carcinoma sequence. Chronic inammation is the main driver of tumorigenesis [10]. Histologic inammation, extent and duration of disease, pres­ence of inammatory polyps and colonic strictures are well-known independent risk factors for colorectal dysplasia and cancer [11, 12]. Furthermore, primary scleros­ing cholangitis (PSC) is a very strong risk factor for high grade dysplasia and CRC [13] in patients with UC.
Surveillance Strategies andTechniques
Surveillance colonoscopy should be routinely performed in patients with UC.European and British guidelines stratify patients in one of three risk categories (high, intermediate, or low risk group) with surveillance intervals ranging from annually to every ve years [14, 15] (Fig.10.1). American guidelines recommend surveillance every 1–3years considering the presence of risk factors when planning the next surveillance interval [16]. Across the board all guidelines recommend annual surveillance in patients with PSC, due to the high neoplastic risk [1416].
Current guidelines [1416] advocate the use of chromoendoscopy for surveil­lance. Superiority of high-denition chromoendoscopy to high-denition white­light endoscopy has been reported in a recent randomised controlled trial from Sweden [17]. However, high denition endoscopy is considered a less time

consuming and a good alternative to chromoendoscopy [16] with similar dysplasia detection rates. As a consequence, the utility of random biopsies, four quadrant every ten centimetres, has been questioned with the use of high denition endos­copy systems [8]. Non-inferiority in neoplastic detection was reported for surveil­lance using only targeted biopsies vs targeted and random biopsies in a randomised controlled trail [18]. The added value of random biopsies is higher in patients with concomitant PSC (3.7% per colonoscopy and 0.3% per biopsy) [1719], previous dysplasia or tubular appearing colon [19].
Classification ofUC Associated Dysplasia
Diagnosis of colorectal dysplasia and cancer in patients with UC should be con­rmed by two pathologists, with expertise in the eld of inammatory bowel dis­ease [8, 1416] due to the high level of interobserver variability for low grade dysplasia and indenite dysplasia, especially when inammation is present.
Dysplasia, in patients with UC, can be visible or invisible. Invisible is detected on random biopsies. According to the Scenic Consensus statement [8], visible dys­plasia can be polypoid (pedunculated or sessile), non polypoid (supercial elevated, at or depressed). Other general descriptors are presence of ulceration and assess­ment of borders (distinct or indistinct) [8]. Microscopically, dysplasia is also graded and ranges between mild or low grade dysplasia (LGD) to high grade dysplasia (HGD) based on the cellular and nuclear orientation changes.

According to SCENIC consensus, and endoscopically resectable lesion indicates that (1) distinct margins of the lesion could be identied, (2) the lesion appears to be completely removed on visual inspection after endoscopic resection, (3) histologic examination of the resected specimen is consistent with complete removal, and (4) biopsy specimens taken from mucosa immediately adjacent to the resection site are free of dysplasia on histologic examination.
L. Ferrari and A. Fichera
Management ofColonic Dysplasia
Until recently, international guidelines recommended total proctocolectomy for UC patients with colorectal dysplasia [8, 1416]. Reason behind this is the possible risk of synchronous dysplasia in the setting of long-standing extensive disease. However, there is increased evidence supporting the use of endoscopic treatment of these lesions [2128].
For invisible dysplasia detected in random biopsies, current guidelines recom­mend strict surveillance by IBD endoscopists [8]. For visible dysplasia, different endoscopic and surgical options are currently available, and nal decision should be made weighting grade of dysplasia, unifocal or multifocal lesions and also patient characteristics (age, comorbidities, etc.) and preferences. If visible lesions are con­sidered suitable for endoscopic resection, rst decision to be made is which tech­nique to used. This depends on several factors: lesion size, shape, site, surface and surrounding area (known as Five “s”), risk of invasion and endoscopic accessibility [8, 29].
Small polypoid or at lesions can be removed with simple endoscopic snare technique. For larger lesions, endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) should be con­sidered. This involves lifting the lesion from the muscularis propria using submuco­sal injection with saline to perform complete excision of the lesion. Furthermore, endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) should be considered for lesions larger than 20mm, especially if they are non-polypoid or if high grade dysplasia is pres­ent. ESD allows the lesion to be lifted deeper, at the level of muscularis propria, where the lesion can be dissected. ESD has several advantages: high en block resec­tion rate and radical (R0) resections with a relatively low risk of adverse events such as bleeding or perforation [27].
Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD)
UC patients are at increased risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC) through the inammation-dysplasia-carcinoma sequence. For this reason, early identication and treatment of dysplastic lesions can potentially reduce the risk of CRC.Data to support the use of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for UC associated dys­plastic lesions have been collected mainly during the last eight years [2228] (Table10.1). Manta etal. [27] pulled together data from seven independent interna­tional research collaborations [2127]. By cumulative analysis, there were a total of

208 patients with 216 treated lesions. There was a slight prevalence of males [M/F=1.39] with a median age of >60years, and there was a 59.6% prevalence of extensive colitis. The median duration disease ranged from 7 to 20years [27].
In total, en bloc resection was successfully performed in 191 ESD procedures, corresponding to 88.4% of 216 lesions and 91.8% of 208 patients. R0 resection was achieved in 169 ESDs, equivalent to a 78.2% of lesions and 81.3% of patients. According to the operator, en bloc resection and R0, respectively, were achieved in 113 (86.9%) and 107 (82.3%) of 130 lesions treated by European endoscopists, and in 78 (92.9%) and 62 (73.8%) of 84 lesions treated by Asian endoscopists, without a statistically signicant difference between groups. The median diameter of removed lesions in the different studies varied from 15 to 35mm (range: 8–73). Submucosal brosis was detected in 104 (77.1%) of 135 lesions. The overall rate of complications was 9.6%, including 6.7% bleedings and 2.9% perforations, all man­aged endoscopically. At follow-up, recurrence was observed in only eight (3.8%) patients, and a metachronous lesion developed in 13 (6.2%) cases.
Data from the above studies [2128] shows that ESD is a safe technique to remove non-invasive lesions in UC patients. It should be performed in selected high-volume centers, where appropriate long-term follow-up can be offered.

Surgical management ofColonic Dysplasia
Historically, surgery has been the treatment of choice for low and high grade dys­plasia in patients with UC [20, 3144]. Several series have been published, most of them retrospective, single institution and with limited numbers. Summary of the existing evidence from the literature is presented in Table10.2.
With the recent data on ESD, surgery should be reserved for endoscopically unresectable lesions, invisible high grade dysplasia and high-risk colons, when strictures are present and surveillance might be difcult [8, 30]. When surgery is indicated, a total proctocolectomy is indicated in case of HGD or CRC to reduce overall risk of dysplasia and cancer.
Although patients with LGD have been considered at limited risk for cancer development, there are evidence that certain endoscopic characteristics are associ­ated with increased risk of progression. Choi etal. [44] looked at risk factors for progression of LGD to HGD or CRC. In 172 patients that were followed for a median of 48 months, 21 had immediate colectomy and 152 only surveillance endoscopy. On multivariate analysis, factors associated with signicant risk of HGD and CRC were: macroscopically non-polypoid dysplasia (P<0.001) or invis­ible dysplasia (P=0.02), dysplastic lesions 1cm in size (P=0.01), and a previous history of “indenite for dysplasia” (P=0.01). The cumulative incidence of HGD or CRC at 1 and 5years after detection of LGD was 0% and 1.8% in patients with no risk factors, 9.6% and 17.7% with one risk factor and 29.0% and 53.4% for two risk factors. For those with three risk factors, cumulative risk of HGD or CRC development was 61.6% and 80.7% at 1 and 2years, respectively. This important study identied endoscopic ndings as prognostic factors that should be considered

6.7 and 9 per thousand years of patient follow-up. Longer study duration did not correlate with advanced neoplasia rates.
FU: 48months 13% and 8.6% of patients developed HGD and CRC respectively.
Annual incidence of advanced neoplasia 1.8%. Annual incidence of CRC 0.8%. High risk features associated with dysplasia progression: PSC, invisible dysplasia, distal location, and multifocal LGD.

to properly select patients for surgical intervention rather than just using the degree for dysplasia.
A meta-analysis including 14 surveillance cohort studies collected data on 671 patients with UC-LGD (52 developed CRC) [45]. The pooled annual incidence of CRC was 0.8% (95% CI, 0.4–1.3); the pooled annual incidence of advanced neopla­sia was 1.8% (95% CI, 0.9–2.7). Factors signicantly associated with dysplasia progression were concomitant primary sclerosing cholangitis (OR, 3.4; 95% CI,
1.5–7.8), invisible dysplasia (vs visible dysplasia; OR, 1.9; 95% CI, 1.0–3.4), distal location (vs proximal location; OR, 2.0; 95% CI, 1.1–3.7) and multifocal dysplasia (vs unifocal dysplasia; OR, 3.5; 95% CI, 1.5–8.5). In 12 surgical cohort studies of 450 patients who underwent colectomy for UC-LGD, 34 patients had synchronous CRC (pooled prevalence, 17%; 95% CI, 8–33) [45].
Although LGD has been considered not an absolute indications for surgical man­agement, different endoscopic parameters should be considered to identify
