The topical glucocorticoid budesonide has long been well known in the medical community because of its beneficial effects in the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases. Budesonide is characterized by a high first-pass effect and a rapid metabolism in the liver resulting in low systemic bioavailability and reduced frequency of side-effects compared to conventional glucocorticoids. For about a decade, budesonide has been used by gastroenterologists, and it has been proven especially effective in the treatment of distal ulcerative colitis and ileocolonic Crohn's disease in a number of randomized controlled clinical studies. In recent years, budesonide has also been successfully used in the management of other diseases in the field of gastroenterology, hepatology, surgery and oncology. This book, the proceedings of a Falk Workshop on 'Topical Steroids in Gastroenterology and Hepatology', held in Berlin, Germany, on 14 June 2003, critically discusses the current role of budesonide in gastroenterology, hepatology, surgery and oncology and focuses especially on potential new indications for the use of budesonide. A number of smaller clinical studies and anecdotal case reports
