In this video, Raymond Cross, MD, associate professor of medicine and director of the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Program at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, discusses the latest strategies for treating ulcerative colitis (UC) at the annual scientific meeting of the American College of Gastroenterology in Washington, DC.

Among the topics he touches on are the role of immune suppressors and biologic therapies in treating moderate to severe UC; the question of when to combine these therapies, given the potential for side effects; and the goal of mucosal healing, in which the lining of the colon is healed.
