• Crohn's and bowel cancer?

Does a family history of Crohn's put me at risk for bowel cancer? Currently I do not exhibit symptoms of Crohn's (I'm 26) but I worry about my future.

Family history of crohn's is not a risk for developing colon cancer.

Not if you don’t have crohns yourself. The inflammation from crohns and a family history of cancer count as risk factors for you

A family history of Crohn’s disease does not increase your risk of colon cancer. There is only a slight increase risk of Crohn’s and Ulcerative Colitis
