This review explores emerging concepts in colitis-associated cancer pathogenesis, including the intricate interplay between diet, microbiome alterations, and intestinal barrier dysfunction in CRC progression. Additionally, it highlights cutting-edge diagnostic and assessment techniques, such as ultra-high magnification endoscopy, and new spatial biology platforms for assessing intestinal barrier integrity and molecular biomarkers like miRNAs and liquid biopsy. The future of IBD-related CRC management will incorporate a holistic, multi-integrated approach, combining AI-driven diagnostics, omics data integration, endoscopic and surgical innovations and nanotechnology-based therapies.
