Mucosal healing in Crohn's disease: relevance and controversies in real life clinical practice.
Year: 2014
Type: article
Abstract: Mucosal healing is a recent and emerging concept in Crohn's disease management that has been associated to a good prognosis and therefore it has been also proposed to be a clinically relevant therapeutic endpoint. On the other hand, there are many controversial aspects about this concept, and some clinically relevant difficulties that may preclude clinicians from moving this concept from clinical trials to clinical practice in many cases. This review is focused on both aspects of mucosal healing in day-to-day real life clinical practice.
