Overview
Screening for familial adenomatous polyposis by genetic testing and/or colonoscopy is recommended among patients with history of multiple colonic adenomas and family history of familial adenomatous polyposis.
Screening
- Screening for familial adenomatous polyposis for individuals at high risk is done by:[1]
- Sigmoidoscopy every 2 years beginning at age of 10 years
- Colonoscopy every year following finding adenoma
- Endoscopy concomitant with colonoscopy
- Side viewing endoscopy beginning at age 15 years to evaluate ampulla
- If there is a positive family history of familial adenomatous polyposis, screening colonoscopy must be started at the age of the youngest family member's polyps or symptoms.
