A new AI tool predicts colorectal cancer risk in ulcerative colitis patients with high accuracy, enabling safer colonoscopy scheduling.
A new AI tool developed by UC San Diego researchers can accurately predict colorectal cancer risk in ulcerative colitis patients with precancerous changes, using data from 55,000 patients in the VA health system.
The system assesses four key factors to classify patients into five risk levels, correctly identifying nearly half as low-risk—with almost 99% avoiding cancer within two years.
This could allow safer extension of colonoscopy intervals for low-risk individuals, reducing unnecessary procedures and patient burden.
The tool offers a standardized, data-driven alternative to current subjective risk assessments and may help prevent delayed follow-ups.
Researchers plan to validate it in broader populations and incorporate genetic data.
The study was published on February 17, 2026.
