Early aggressive therapy for severe extensive ulcerative colitis
World Journal of Gastroenterology, 09/14/09

Cui DJ – Although this therapeutic strategy may seem to be cost–efficient and reduce the risk of side effects, recent trials and case reports have shown that top–down therapy using infliximab induces a rapid clinical response, enhances patient quality of life, promotes mucosal healing, reduces surgeries and indirect cost of treatment for patients with severe UC. Moreover, since long–term treatment with infliximab is safe and well tolerated, early aggressive top–down therapeutic strategy may be a more effective approach, at least in a subgroup of severe extensive UC patients.
