There are very few areas of gastroenterology that have experienced the same rapid growth as is the case with Crohn’s disease, both in terms of understanding disease pathogenesis and translation to novel approaches to therapy. This fact, together with the huge success of the first publication on Crohn’s disease treatment by the EPACT group, has led to the decision to publish a revision of the original work. Addressing questions such as ‘What is standard of care? What is evidence based? Where do we lack sufficient information?’, a coordinated set of short review articles presents new developments in the management of patients suffering from Crohn’s disease. Included are, among other topics, articles on EPACT II methodology, maintenance of remission, Fistulizing Crohn’s Disease, drug safety or extraintestinal manifestations of Crohn’s Disease. Providing up-to-date information on Crohn’s disease management, this publication offers the practicing physician a wealth of information on patient care.
