If the ileocecal ulcer does not heal for a long time or the disease course is relatively long, the ulcer appears after the ulcer scar heals, the disease is repeated, and there is a family history of colorectal cancer, the risk of cancer is relatively high. If the ileocecal ulcer patient has other high risk factors, such as long-term smoking, long-term low-fiber diet, high-fat high-protein diet, exposure to chemical carcinogens, and chronic schistosomiasis, it will also lead to an increased risk of cancer. The cancer rate of ileocecal ulcer varies from person to person, and can be evaluated according to the course of disease, complications, genetic factors, environmental factors, etc.
