Core Tip	Patients with long standing and extensive ulcerative colitis who develop colon cancer rarely have histological healing despite gross endoscopic healing. The persistence of histological inflammation is common in those who develop colon cancer (CC) or high grade dysplasia (HGD). When surveillance colonoscopies in ulcerative colitis of 20 years duration reveal persistent histological inflammation, patients are at high risk for the development of CC/HGD. Consideration of increasing drug therapy should arise, and the patient is entitled to share in this knowledge and contribute to the decision.
