Treatment and follow-up of affected family members with familial polyposis.
In conclusion, it is the intention of our Familial Polyposis Registry to ensure that members of an affected family are aware of the reasons for ongoing surveillance and of the potential for developing extracolonic manifestations or malignancies. A second and equally important aim is to make available to the medical community-at-large reliable and progressive resource data, not only to stimulate discussion about the total management of familial polyposis, but to encourage cooperation in our common goal of cancer prevention.
