Biomedical researchers, physicians, gastroenterologists, and surgeons have struggled to improve the quality of life of their patients and have sought, above all else, to keep the disease under remission for as long as possible. Blockers for tumoral necrosis factor alpha (TNF-?) were the first biological drugs to be discovered and for this reason they played a crucial role in the subsequent evolution of IBD treatment. The aim of this book is to provide an overview of such drugs and the latest developments in IBD immunopathology. Our contributors discuss the main indications, efficacy, and possible side effects of the different types of drugs available today for IBD treatment. 606 $aInflammatory bowel diseases 615 0$aInflammatory bowel diseases. 676 $a616.344 702 $aTorriani$b Tristan 702 $aLeal$b Raquel Franco 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910688497603321 996 $aBiological Therapy for Inflammatory Bowel Disease$92263313 997 $aUNINA
