Abstract

The incidence and prevalence of IBD, including UC and CD, has been increasing rapidly in Asia over the last two decades.1 Dilemmas are arising along with an increasing number of patients with IBD in Asia. For example, the knowledge on IBD has not been popularized in the vast area of Asia, and many IBD patients still do not receive a timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment. In addition, health care for patients with IBD has not received sufficient attention. How can these challenges be turned into opportunities? Alternatively, these challenges can be used to encourage Asian doctors and investigators to obtain more diagnostic and therapeutic skills for managing IBD. Asian researchers can use the growing IBD incidence to explore the etiology and pathogenesis of this disease.
