Popis: Anti-tumour necrosis factor α therapy in inflammatory bowel disease has been shown to be effective in clinical practice. After more than a decade using these therapies the question arises about whether there is an appropriate time to suspend these therapies, and how this should be done. This review aims to evaluate the current evidence on these topics concerning anti-tumour necrosis factor α therapies, and eventually identify conditions and subgroups of patients that could potentially be candidates for withdrawal.
