Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study aims at describing the prevalence of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection in anal and oral samples of men with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and detecting risk factors for the infection.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Male IBD patients attending the IBD Clinic of Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau will be screened for eligibility. Informed consent will be obtained from all eligible patients. An anal and oral swab will be performed on all patients to look for HPV infection (HPV DNA test) and cytologic alterations. Patients will be inspected to rule out the presence of HPV-related lesions. Moreover, a self-administered questionnaire will be completed by all enrolled patients. Information regarding IBD characteristics and treatment will be obtained.

According to local practice, patients with anal or oral squamous intraepithelial lesions (ASIL) will be referred to a colorectal surgeon for further recommendations or treatment.
