Approximately two million people in the United States have IBD. These patients have at least a fourfold greater risk than the general population of developing colon cancer, which is the third most common cancer and the second leading cancer killer in the United States. The University of Maryland researchers believe the use of ANNs may eventually have a significant impact on the early detection and treatment of colon cancer in people with IBD.

This study was conducted using technology that was funded, in part, by the Maryland Cigarette Restitution Fund Program.
