Abstract
At DDW 2008 around 1000 abstracts on inflammatory bowel disease were presented. Our goal in this report is to sumaries the most important new data on diagnosis, smoking and cancer related to IBD. MRI is emerging as a basic diagnostic tool in Crohn's disease. New data are accumulating demonstrating that smoking has a negative impacto on natural history of CD even when treated in very specialized units, and with moderate tobacco use. When population-based studies are considered, colorrectal cancer is not so a frequent complication as has been reported in referente centres. However, its incidente does fully justify surveillance, although more and more data show that the key point to disminsh the incidence of cancer is a good control of inflammation.
