Cancer risk in coeliac disease is lower than thought
People with coeliac disease have only a slightly higher risk of cancer, not the doubling previously suggested. West and colleagues (p 716) reviewed 4732 adults and children with coeliac disease from the UK general practice research database and more than 23 000 controls and found that most of the excess risk occurs in the first year after diagnosis. This study also confirms that women with coeliac disease have lower rates of breast cancer than controls.
