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 is recommended in the following patients:[1][2]
- Positive family history of FAP in the first degree relative
- It must be started at the age of the youngest family member's polyps or symptoms
- Screening for familial adenomatous polyposis for individuals at high risk is done by:
- 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
- Genetic testing
