Duodenal surveillance improves the prognosis after duodenal cancer in familial adenomatous polyposis

Abstract: The risk of duodenal cancer in familial adenomatous polyposis is considerable, and regular surveillance and cancer prophylactic surgery result in a significantly improved prognosis.

“…Also similar to our results, earlier reports have suggested that severity of colorectal polyps could predict the development of severe duodenal adenomatosis. 25 Studies evaluating a genotype-phenotype correlation between specific mutation regions of the APC gene and the severity of duodenal adenomatosis have yielded inconsistent results 11,24 ; these data were not collected in this study.…”

“…2,24,26 Few studies have shown a definite improvement in outcomes in patients with advanced duodenal polyposis, a high-risk group of patients with the highest rate of duodenal cancer. 10,11 Most reports suggest the benefits and recommend endoscopic surveillance of duodenal adenomas to prevent cancer. 2,6,[10][11][12]26,27 The results of our protocol are good and will serve to give clinicians a practical and effective guide for surveillance and management of patients with duodenal adenomatosis.…”

“…However, few reports have described a correlation between FAP and polyposis or carcinoma in the hepatopancreaticobiliary tract. The cumulative lifetime risk of developing severe duodenal polyposis has been estimated to be around 35% (28). Fundic gland polyps of the stomach also can occur in the majority of FAP patients that are too numerous to count.…”

“…As a result, the mortality pattern has changed and duodenal cancer now is the leading cancer-related cause of death [3,4]. Lifetime risk of duodenal adenomas approaches 100% in patients with FAP [5], and approximately 3-7% of patients eventually develop duodenal cancer [6,7]. As duodenal cancer in patients with FAP has been associated with a poor prognosis [8,9], the clinical challenge is to identify patients with high-risk duodenal adenomas and intervene before progression to cancer occurs.…”
