Intensive endoscopic resection strategy for multiple duodenal polyposis associated with familial adenomatous polyposis. J Gastroenterol Hepatol 2023; 38:1592-1597. [PMID: 37423767 DOI: 10.1111/jgh.16281] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2023] [Revised: 06/10/2023] [Accepted: 06/22/2023] [Indexed: 07/11/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Multiple duodenal polyposis associated with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is a high risk of duodenal cancer development. We evaluated the feasibility of intensive endoscopic resection that is a comprehensive treatment strategy combining multiple kinds of endoscopic treatments. METHODS This is a retrospective observational study. From January 2012 to July 2022, a total of 28 consecutive patients in FAP who underwent endoscopic resection for multiple duodenal polyposis more than twice were included. Various endoscopic treatments, such as cold polypectomy (CP), endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR), underwater EMR (UEMR), endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), and endoscopic papillectomy (EP), were applied depending on lesions size and location. We evaluated individual information from patients' medical records, including patient characteristics, lesion characteristics, details of endoscopic treatment, pathologic findings, and Spigelman index (SI). We compared the differences in the number of treatments and observation periods with and without SI decrease. RESULTS A total of 1040 lesions were removed by 138 sessions of endoscopic resections. The median follow-up period was 3.2 years. At the beginning of the endoscopic intervention, median SI was 9 (6-11) and the proportion of Spigelman stage (SS) IV was 61%. Repeated endoscopic treatments finally reduced SI in 26 patients (93%), and the proportion of SS IV significantly decreased to 13% with every endoscopic treatment. The mean SI change was -4.2 points per year (95% confidence interval: -0.6 to -5.9). There were no patients required surgical duodenectomy during the follow-up period. CONCLUSION Intensive resection has a potential of downstaging duodenal lesions associated with FAP.

Efficacy of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography in familial adenomatous polyposis patients after duodenectomy. DEN OPEN 2022; 2:e85.

Abstract
Objectives Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) patients with Spigelman stage IV polyposis should be considered for prophylactic duodenectomy. Post‐surgical pancreaticobiliary complications occur and may require management via endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). We aimed to assess the success and adverse events of ERCP in FAP patients after pancreas‐sparing duodenectomy (PSD) and pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Methods A retrospective review of FAP patients who underwent ERCP after PSD or PD from 1992 to 2020 at a quaternary referral center was completed. The technical success of ERCP was defined as the ability to identify the anastomosis and cannulate the duct. Post‐procedural adverse events were defined by bleeding, perforation, pancreatitis, or cholangitis. Clinical outcomes included the need for surgical intervention and recurrent pancreatitis after ERCP were assessed. Results Of 84 FAP patients with duodenectomy, 12 patients with PSD and two patients with PD underwent 17 ERCPs for pancreatic indications and five for biliary indications. The technical success of ERCP in patients with PSD and a single neoampullary complex for pancreatic (n = 6) and biliary (n = 5) indications was 100% but for those with PD (n = 2) or PSD reconstruction with pancreatic divisum or separate anastomoses (n = 3), it was 0%. Surgical intervention was required in 50% of patients with technically failed ERCP after PSD (2/4) and PD (1/2). There were no adverse events. Conclusions ERCP is expected to be therapeutically successful for biliary complications following PSD. Assessment and potential therapy for pancreatitis post‐PSD are best in the setting of a single neo‐ampullary complex rather than in PD or PSD with pancreatic divisum.

Abstract
Most patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) will develop duodenal polyps and 5% progress to cancer. Those with Spigelman stage IV have a 36% risk of cancer at 10 years. Endoscopic surveillance is necessary with local ablation for early disease. Unresectable duodenal disease and severe dysplasia are an indication for prophylactic radical surgery by pancreaticoduodenectomy or pancreas-sparing duodenectomy. Some preliminary results have shown better outcomes with duodenectomy. A 45-year-old female with FAP had restorative proctocolectomy at 24 years, desmoid of the mesentery with regression after sulindac, two pregnancies, and at the age of 37 years had duodenal polyposis stage III carpeting the periampullary region. Endoscopic papillectomy and extensive piecemeal mucosectomy was performed but was unsuccessful due to recurrence. After 7 years of regular endoscopic surveillance, focal high-grade dysplasia was diagnosed at the last evaluation. Some diminutive polyps were seen in the small-bowel capsule endoscopy. MRCP showed a normal biliary and pancreatic duct without visualization of the Santorini duct. A pancreas and pylorus-preserving duodenectomy was performed with 3 main steps: (1) duodenectomy with preservation of the pancreas and the pylorus; (2) reconstruction with an advanced jejunal limb and duodenojejunostomy; (3) reimplantation of the biliary and pancreatic duct in the jejunal loop. The patient was discharged on the 11th postoperative day without complications. In conclusion, pancreas- and pylorus-preserving duodenectomy is a promising alternative to pancreaticoduodenectomy for advanced duodenal polyposis that allows complete endoscopic surveillance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the prevalence, natural history, and severity of polyposis of the duodenal bulb and jejunum after duodenectomy in patients with FAP. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Advanced duodenal polyposis stage in FAP requires consideration of duodenal resection to prevent cancer; pylorus-preserving approach of pancreas-sparing duodenectomy (PSD) is preferred. Post-duodenectomy data indicate polyps occur in the duodenal bulb and the post-anastomotic jejunum, but limited data exists regarding their significance. METHODS We identified consecutive FAP patients After duodenal resection, including pancreaticoduodenectomy, PSD, or segmental duodenectomy, at Cleveland Clinic. Medical records were used to determine time to diagnosis of duodenal bulb or jejunal polyps, length of follow up, and severity of polyposis including maximal Spigelman stage (SS) of jejunal polyposis (neo-SS). RESULTS 64 patients with FAP underwent duodenectomy and endoscopic follow up. 28% underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy, 61% PSD, and 11% segmental duodenectomy. Postoperatively, 38/64 (59%) were diagnosed with jejunal polyposis, with median time to diagnosis of 55 months and follow up time of 127 months. Jejunal polyposis was advanced in 21% (neo- SS III or IV). Fifty percent were treated endoscopically, 1 patient required surgery. Jejunal polyp-free survival after duodenectomy differed by surgery type (P = 0.008). A total of 55/64 patients underwent a pylorus-preserving procedure, and 6/55 (11%) developed duodenal bulb polyps. All bulb polyps were large (>20 mm) and found after PSD. Endoscopic resection was unsuccessful in 5 patients, but no surgical intervention was required. CONCLUSIONS Polyposis occurs in the remaining duodenal and jejunal mucosa in the majority of patients after surgical duodenectomy. Jejunal polyposis is advanced in 1 in 5 patients, but rarely requires surgery. Endoscopic management of jejunal polyposis seems feasible but has proven difficult for duodenal bulb polyps.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Duodenal polyposis is a manifestation of adenomatous polyposis that predisposes to duodenal or ampullary adenocarcinoma. Duodenal polyposis is monitored by upper GI endoscopies and may require iterative resections and prophylactic radical surgical treatment when malignancy is threatening. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate severity scoring for surveillance and treatment in a large series of duodenal polyposis. DESIGN From 1982 to 2014, every patient surveyed by upper GI endoscopies for duodenal polyposis was included. SETTINGS The study was conducted at a single tertiary care center. PATIENTS We performed 1912 upper GI endoscopies in 437 patients (median = 3; interquartile range, 2-6 endoscopies). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Conservative treatment was performed in 103 patients (159 endoscopic and 17 surgical resections), whereas radical surgical treatment (Whipple procedure or duodenectomy) was required in 52 (median age, 47.5 y; range, 43.0-57.3 y) because of high-grade dysplasia or unresectable lesions. RESULTS Genes involved were APC (n = 274; 62.7%) and MUTYH (n = 21; 4.8%). First upper GI endoscopies (median age, 32 y; range, 21-44 y) revealed duodenal polyposis in 190 (43.5%). Rates of low-grade dysplasia, high-grade dysplasia, and duodenal or ampulary adenocarcinoma at 5 years were 65% (range, 61.7%-66.9%), 12.1% (range, 10.3%-13.9%), and 2.4% (range, 1.5%-3.3%), whereas 10-year rates were 75.8% (range, 73.1%-78.5%), 20.8% (range, 18.2%-23.4%), and 5.4% (range, 3.8%-7.0%). The rate of ampullary abnormalities rose during surveillance from 18.3% at the first upper GI endoscopies to 47.4% at the fourth. Predictive factors for high-grade dysplasia were age at first upper GI endoscopy, type and age of colorectal surgery, Spigelman score, presence of an ampullary abnormality, and number of endoscopic treatments. In multivariate analysis, only age at first upper GI endoscopy and presence of an ampullary abnormality were independent predictive factors. Histologic analysis after radical surgical treatment showed high-grade dysplasia in 30 patients and duodenal or ampulary adenocarcinoma in 11 (4 patients had lymph node involvement). LIMITATIONS The study was limited by its retrospective analysis of a prospective database. CONCLUSIONS More than 20% of patients developed high-grade dysplasia with duodenal polyposis after 10 years. Iterative endoscopic resections allowed extended control, but surgery remained necessary in 12% of the patients and happened too late in many cases; 20% of those operated had developed duodenal or ampulary adenocarcinoma, whereas 8% exhibited malignancy with lymph node involvement. The trigger for prophylactic surgery required a more accurate predictive score leading to closer endoscopic surveillance. Modifying the Spigelman score by accounting for ampullary abnormalities should be considered as a means to increase compliance with closer endoscopic follow-up in high-risk patients.

Abstract
Background In addition to the presence of neoplasia in the colon and rectum, patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) may develop numerous polyps and carcinoma within the upper gastrointestinal tract. Methods The aim of the present paper was to review the incidence advanced duodenal polyposis or cancer and their surgical outcomes. A retrospective review of patients' records from our department was performed. Information was retrieved from a prospective collected data, including clinical (gender, age, family history), endoscopic [association with colorectal cancer (CRC), polyposis severity, age at diagnosis] and surgical management (age, time from the index surgery, type of procedure, morbidity). Duodenal adenomatosis at the time of surgery was classified according to Spigelman stages. Results In a group of 145 FAP patients, 8 (5.5%) had been surgically treated for duodenal advanced neoplasia [3] or cancer [5]. There were included 2 women and 6 men whose first endoscopic examination and diagnosis of advanced neoplasia/cancer was made at median ages of 47.3 [28-63] and 51.8 years, respectively. Duodenal carcinomas occurred later (55.8 years) when compared to advanced adenomatosis (45.3 years). Three patients were diagnosed due to symptoms, while the others were detected under endoscopic surveillance. Age interval between FAP treatment and duodenal neoplasia diagnosis was 15.3 years [0-47]. All but one patient underwent duodenopancreatectomy (DP). Two from the 7 patients undergoing DP died, one from pulmonary embolism 30 days after surgery and the other from recurrent T4N0 duodenal tumor. Thus, major operative morbidity and mortality were 12.5%. Conclusions In this single-center Brazilian series of FAP patients: (I) advanced duodenal neoplasia or cancer requiring surgery occurred in 5.5% of patients; (II) when reaching the fifth decade of life, patients should be carefully evaluated to diagnose and treat early lesions; (III) in spite of the technical complexity of DP, operative morbidity is acceptable in experienced hands; and (IV) continuous surveillance is necessary during follow-up.

Abstract
Duodenal cancer is a leading cause of death in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). In patients with Spigelman's classification (SC) stage IV duodenal polyposis (DP), careful endoscopic surveillance by specialists or surgical intervention is mandatory. We herein report the surgical and pathological outcomes of FAP patients with SC stage duodenal polyposis undergoing pancreas-sparing total duodenectomy (PSTD), which has been rarely reported but seems optimal in such patients. PSTD and distal gastrectomy with Billroth-I type reconstruction in ten consecutive FAP patients with SC stage IV DP are reported. The median duration of surgery was 396 min (range 314-571 min) and the median estimated blood loss was 480 mL (range 100-975 mL). Significant postoperative complications included wound infection in 1 patient, pancreatic fistula [International Study Group on Pancreatic Fistula definition (ISGPF) grade B] in 4 patients. Histopathologic examinations revealed a well-differentiated carcinoma in situ in 3 patients and others were all adenomas. Over a median follow-up period of 15 months (range 9-29 months), 1 patient developed a stomal ulcer which improved with medical treatment. There were no patients with a body weight loss of ≥10 % relative to the preoperative body weight. No recurrence were experienced during the follow up period. Patients were free from postoperative diabetes mellitus. PSTD is a feasible and acceptable procedure in FAP patients with SC stage IV DP, in terms of surgical, pathological and clinical outcome. However, accumulation of the patients and long-term follow up study is necessary.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the natural history and outcomes of surveillance of duodenal neoplasia in familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). BACKGROUND Duodenal cancer is the most common cause of death in FAP. METHODS Cohort study of patients prospectively enrolled in an upper endoscopic surveillance protocol from 1982 to 2012. The duodenum was assessed by side-viewing endoscopy and classified as stage 1 to 5 disease. Endoscopic and/or operative interventions were performed according to stage. RESULTS There were 218 patients in the protocol (98 with advanced stage). They had a median of 9 endoscopies (range: 2-25) over a median of 11 years (range: 1-26). Median age at diagnosis of stage 3 disease (adenoma: 2.1-10 mm) was 41 years and stage 4 disease (adenoma >10 mm) was 45 years. Median time from first esophagogastroduodenoscopy to stage 4 disease was 22.4 years. The risk of stage 4 disease was 34.3% [95% confidence interval (CI) 23.8-43.4] at 15 years. In multivariate analysis, sex, type of colorectal surgery, years since colorectal surgery, and stage were significantly associated with risk of progression to stage 4 disease. Five of 218 (2.3%) patients developed duodenal cancer at median age of 58 years (range: 51-65). The risk of developing duodenal cancer was 2.1% (95% CI: 0-5.2) at 15 years. CONCLUSIONS Patients with advanced duodenal polyposis progress in the severity of disease (size and degree of dysplasia); however, the rate of progression to carcinoma is slow. Aggressive endoscopic and surgical intervention, especially in the presence of large polyps and high-grade dysplasia, appears to be effective in preventing cancer deaths in FAP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopic therapy for duodenal adenomas is becoming increasingly important. However, only a few studies have been published on the topic, mainly with retrospective data. METHODS This prospective study was carried out to determine complication rates and associated risk factors during and after endoscopic therapy for duodenal adenomas. Between May 2011 and October 2012, 50 patients (with 61 duodenal adenomas) were included. Sixty-one duodenal adenomas were resected endoscopically. Complications (e.g., bleeding, pain, fever, pancreatitis, and perforation) were recorded. Associations between bleeding and other factors--sex, age, anticoagulation, location and size of adenomas, etiology, lesion morphology, resection type, and argon plasma coagulation (APC) for bleeding prophylaxis--were then investigated. RESULTS Bleeding was the main complication. Major bleeding occurred in four cases (6.5%) and minor bleeding in 11 (18%). One occult perforation also occurred. There was a statistically significant association between bleeding and the size of the adenoma (P = 0.012). APC for bleeding prophylaxis showed a promising trend, with an odds ratio of 0.31, reducing the bleeding risk by two-thirds in this study. However, due to the small number of six patients that received bleeding prophylaxis with APC therapy, this result was not statistically significant (P = 0.31). CONCLUSIONS Bleeding is the main complication in endoscopic therapy for duodenal adenomas. The bleeding risk increases significantly with adenoma size. Prophylactic APC seems to reduce the bleeding rate--however, because of the relatively small number of patients treated with APC, this partial result was not statistically relevant. Due to the relevant rate of complications, endoscopic resection of duodenal adenomas is only recommended in an in-patient setting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and severe (stage IV) duodenal polyposis are candidates for pancreaticoduodenectomy, which has high morbidity. Little information is available about the feasibility of therapeutic endoscopy for these patients. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the long-term efficiency and risks of endoscopic therapy. DESIGN Retrospective study. SETTING A 2-referral center long-term cohort study. PATIENTS Thirty-five FAP patients (15 men, mean age 48 years) presenting with stage IV duodenal polyposis were included. Patients had a mean Spigelman classification score of 9.8 points (range 9-12 points) at their first examination. INTERVENTIONS Patients underwent a surveillance endoscopy, including lateral and axial viewing with chromoendoscopy while under sedation, along with 7 ± 4.8 therapeutic endoscopic sessions during a follow-up period of 9 ± 4.5 years (range 1-19 years) after their first endoscopy. MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS Treatment modalities, adverse events, and efficiency (evolution of the Spigelman score) were reviewed. RESULTS A total of 245 therapeutic endoscopies were performed and 15 adverse events (6%) occurred. During the follow-up period, Spigelman scores decreased in 95% of patients by 6 ± 2.2 points (P = .002). Modeling analysis showed that the mean Spigelman score decreased by 60% after 150 months. LIMITATIONS Retrospective study and the duration of the follow-up, even though this is the longest follow-up reported in medical literature. CONCLUSION Endoscopic treatment of severe duodenal polyposis in patients with FAP produces few adverse events and allows efficient downstaging of the polyposis. Long-term follow-up data did not reveal a high risk of invasive duodenal cancer in these patients.

Abstract
Advanced duodenal adenomatosis in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is associated with a significant risk of duodenal carcinoma. Duodenectomy is sometimes indicated to prevent malignant transformation or to resect established carcinomas. Advanced recurrent adenomatosis and cancer formation in the neo-duodenum after duodenectomy in FAP have been reported. The aim of this study was to describe findings during endoscopic follow-up in a cohort of FAP patients after duodenectomy, to assess the indication and whether recommendations can be made for endoscopic surveillance. All FAP patients with a history of duodenectomy performed at a single tertiary referral centre between January 2000 and July 2011 were identified. Patient characteristics and postoperative upper endoscopic procedures were reviewed retrospectively. 19 patients, with a mean age of 49 years at the time of duodenectomy were identified. One patient was lost to follow-up. The majority of patients underwent prophylactic pancreas preserving duodenectomy (95%). Mean duration of postoperative follow-up in 18 patients was 78 months with 4 postoperative endoscopies on average. An increase in neo-Spigelman stage was seen in 9 patients, after an average interval of 35 months. Overall, newly formed adenomas in the neo-duodenum were found in 14 of 18 patients (78%), after a mean of 46 months after duodenectomy. Recurrent adenomas were mostly located in close proximity to the neo-papilla. This included advanced adenomas in 7 patients, warranting enteric re-resection in 2 patients. Continued intensive endoscopic surveillance is indicated after duodenectomy in FAP, especially of the area around the bilio- and pancreatico-enteric anastomoses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ampullary and extensive periampullary lesions can be difficult to treat and often require pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for complete removal, even if benign. However, PD may be overtreatment for noninvasive lesions, and pancreas-sparing total duodenectomy (PSTD) is an emerging valid surgical option for selected cases. METHODS We reviewed patients undergoing PSTD at our institution over 16 months and a comparison group who had undergone PD for benign duodenal disease over the past 15 years. We also reviewed cases in the English-language literature and performed a meta-analysis of those patients who had undergone PSTD. RESULTS PSTD had been performed in four patients, who had an average hospital length of stay (LOS) of 13 days; two of them experienced complications. None required conversion to PD, experienced a postoperative fistula or endocrine or exocrine insufficiency, or required intensive care. Two of the PSTDs were performed laparoscopically. Open PD for benign duodenal disease was performed in 22 patients, with overall morbidity and pancreas fistula rates of 82 and 27 %, respectively. The meta-analysis found 128 unique cases of PSTD with morbidity and mortality rates of 46.4 and 2.3 %, respectively. Pancreaticobiliary leak was seen in 20 %, with an average LOS of 17 days. CONCLUSIONS Although PSTD can be used to avoid PD and can be performed laparoscopically, it is technically challenging and still associated with morbidity.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION A chyle fistula is an uncommon complication following abdominal and pancreatic surgery, particularly in the retroperitoneal compartment. It can also appear as a complication of a severe acute pancreatitis. Medical treatment is the initial approach, but resolution is often slow. Somatostatin or octreotide can help in accelerating the resolution of fistulae. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients developing a chyle fistula (output > 100ml/24h, normal amylase levels and triglyceride concentrations above 110mg/dl) associated with pancreatic disorders were treated with oral intake restriction and parenteral nutrition, followed by subcutaneous octreotide 0.1mg/8h. RESULTS Four female patients from 55 to 80 years old, underwent pancreatic surgery or presented with an acute pancreatitis, were treated. Chyle fistulae ranging from 100 to 2,000ml/24h were treated with octreotide, being resolved within five to seven days. No recurrence has been found in a 2 to 4 years follow up. CONCLUSIONS We have found that chyle fistula medical treatment is often related to a slow resolution, somatostatin or octreotide administration dramatically reduces its duration. Other previously reported studies have also shown that the quick onset of such treatment can accelerate the whole process, leading to a shorter recovery and lower hospital costs.

Abstract
Duodenal and ampullary carcinoma in familial adenomatosis (FAP) is the third leading cause of FAP related deaths. Management of this condition is a challenging. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of multiple targeted endoscopic biopsies and macroscopic appearance as the major determinants for surgical intervention. A secondary aim was to assess histological heterogeneity through comparing endoscopic biopsies and describe the clinical outcomes of our cohort after intervention. We reviewed our FAP surveillance database of 67 patients, between January 1999--June 2011 undergoing upper GI surveillance and where indicated, subsequent surgical intervention. Among 67 patients, 11 underwent surgical resection. Pancreas-preserving duodenectomy was performed in four patients (five procedures), and Whipple's operation in seven patients. The average size of polyps was 43 mm (range 17-65 mm), and the average number of targeted endoscopic biopsies per lesion was 7.5 (range 5-10). Two cases of high-grade (severe) dysplasia were diagnosed on endoscopic biopsies each understaged compared with the subsequent surgical specimen. All carcinomas identified have been resectable with no evidence of local spread or distant metastasis. There was one postoperative death, but no cancer related deaths. We identified both cancers at an early stage and there were no missed or late diagnoses. There have been no recurrences of carcinoma in a more than 7 years follow-up. Due to the heterogeneous nature of these lesions, comprehensive macroscopic assessment should be complemented with multiple targeted biopsies to improve the chance of early detection of advanced lesions.

Abstract
AIM Duodenal adenomatosis in familial adenomatous polyposis results in a cancer risk that increases with age. Endoscopic surveillance has been recommended, but the effect has not yet been documented. The aim of this study was to present the results of long-term duodenal surveillance and to evaluate the risk of cancer development. METHOD Follow up of patients in a previous study with gastroduodenoscopy in 1990-2010. Statistical analysis included the χ(2) test, actuarial method and Kaplan-Meier analysis. RESULTS Among 304 patients, 261 (86%) had more than one endoscopy. The median follow up was 14 (interquartile range, 9-17) years. The cumulative lifetime risk of duodenal adenomatosis was 88% (95% CI, 84-93), and of Spigelman stage IV was 35% (95% CI, 25-45). The Spigelman stage improved in 32 (12%) patients, remained unchanged in 88 (34%) and worsened in 116 (44%). Twenty (7%) patients had duodenal cancer at a median age of 56 (range, 44-82) years. The cumulative cancer incidence was 18% at 75 years of age (95% CI, 8-28) and increased with increasing Spigelman stage at the index endoscopy to 33% in Spigelman stage IV (P < 0.0001). The median overall survival was 6.4 years (95% CI, 1.7 to not estimated): 8 years after a screen-detected cancer vs 0.8 years (95% CI, 0.03-1.7) after a symptomatic cancer (P < 0.0001). The location of the mutation in the APC gene did not influence the risk of developing Spigelman stage IV (P = 0.46) or duodenal cancer (P = 0.83). CONCLUSION The risk of duodenal cancer in familial adenomatous polyposis is considerable, and regular surveillance and cancer prophylactic surgery result in a significantly improved prognosis.

Abstract
AIM Duodenal adenomas occur in about 90% of patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and are the second cause of death of patients who have had a prophylactic proctocolectomy. Studies suggest that biliary acids have a role in the development of duodenal adenomas. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of ursodesoxycholic acid (UDCA) on duodenal adenoma formation in patients with FAP. METHOD A randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study was carried out of 71 patients (20-65 years) who already had a restorative proctocolectomy. Subjects received either 10 mg/kg of UDCA orally per day or a placebo tablet for 24 months. The Spigelman severity score was determined after duodenal axial and lateral view endoscopy at 12 and 24 months. RESULTS At 2 years 55 patients had completed the entire period of treatment. At the end of the follow-up period, nine (25%) patients in the UDCA group and seven (20%) in the placebo group had a decrease in the Spigelman score (P = 0.6142). Patients receiving UDCA had no side-effects (0%) compared with four (14%) in the placebo group (P = 0.0392). CONCLUSION UDCA had no effect on the development of duodenal adenomas in FAP patients (NCT: 00134758).

Abstract
Patients with duodenal polyps associated with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) have a considerable risk of developing duodenal carcinoma. Prophylactic resection of the duodenum for Spigelman stage III disease is the treatment of choice to prevent progression to cancer. Pancreaticoduodenectomy and pancreas-preserving total duodenectomy (PPTD) are the techniques that have been described for the surgical treatment of duodenal polyposis. We report the first case of laparoscopic PPTD in a patient with previous total colectomy for FAP and Spigelman stage III duodenal polyposis. A laparoscopic total dissection of the duodenum was carried out and the restoration was achieved performing pancreatico-biliary-jejunostomy and gastrojejunostomy. The postoperative period was uneventful. Laparoscopic PPTD can be performed safely in selected cases for the management of FAP.

Abstract
PURPOSE Pancreaticoduodenectomy is an alternative to pancreas-sparing duodenectomy for radical treatment of duodenal lesions. The aims of this study were to assess the results of pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy (PPPD) for severe duodenal polyposis in familial adenomatous polyposis in terms of morbidity, long-term influence on functional results, the recurrence rate of cancer or jejunal polyps, and survival. METHODS All patients operated on for a PPPD between 1992 and 2009 were included. Clinical data, endoscopic findings, and pathologic examinations were evaluated. RESULTS A total of 19 patients underwent PPPD for severe duodenal polyposis (17 Spigelman IV, 1 Spigelman III, and 1 invasive carcinoma). Postoperative mortality was nil. The postoperative morbidity rate was 42%, including 4 pancreatic fistulae (21%) and 2 delayed gastric emptying (11%). Pathologic examination found 7 invasive carcinomas, of which only 1 was known before resection. One third of patients operated on without a preoperative diagnosis of malignancy already had an invasive duodenal carcinoma. After a mean follow-up of 58 months, 16 patients were alive. Thirteen patients underwent endoscopic follow-up, and new adenomas were found in 4 (31%). All were treated successfully during the same endoscopic procedure. PPPD did not modify the functional result after coloproctectomy. CONCLUSIONS PPPD remains a safe and efficient therapeutic option for severe duodenal polyposis in familial adenomatous polyposis patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Duodenal cancer is a major cause of mortality in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). The clinical challenge is to perform duodenectomy before cancer develops; however, procedures are associated with complications. Our aim was to gain insight into the pros and cons of prophylactic duodenectomy. METHODS Patients with FAP from the nationwide Dutch polyposis registry who underwent prophylactic duodenectomy or were diagnosed with duodenal cancer were identified and classified as having benign disease or cancer at preoperative endoscopy. Surveillance, clinical presentation, surgical management, outcome, survival, and recurrence were compared. RESULTS Of 1,066 patients with FAP in the registry, 52 (5%; 25 males) were included: 36 with benign adenomatosis (median: 48 years old; including two (6%) cancer cases diagnosed after operation), and 16 with cancer (median: 53 years old). Cancer cases had been diagnosed with colorectal cancer more often (6% vs 44%; P < .01). Forty-three patients underwent duodenectomy (35 benign/eight cancer): 30-day mortality was 4.7% (n = 2), and in-hospital morbidity occurred in 21 patients (49%), without differences between patients with benign adenomatosis and cancer. Adenomas recurred in reconstructed proximal small bowel in 14 of 28 patients (50%, median time to recurrence: 75 months), and one patient developed cancer. Median survival of all 18 cancer cases in the registry (1.7%; 12 ampullary/six duodenal) was 11 months. CONCLUSION Prognosis of duodenal cancer in patients with FAP is poor, which justifies an aggressive approach to advanced benign adenomatosis. Strict adherence to recommended surveillance intervals is essential for a well-timed intervention. Given the substantial morbidity and mortality of duodenectomy, patients' individual characteristics are to be critically evaluated preoperatively. As adenomas recur, postoperative endoscopic surveillance is mandatory.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) develop duodenal and ampullary polyps that may progress to malignancy via the adenoma-carcinoma sequence. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to review a large series of FAP patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy for advanced duodenal and ampullary polyposis. METHODS A retrospective case notes review of all FAP patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy for advanced duodenal and ampullary adenomatosis was performed. RESULTS Between October 1993 and January 2010, 38 FAP patients underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy for advanced duodenal and ampullary polyps. Complications occurred in 29 patients and perioperative mortality in two. Postoperative histology revealed five patients to have preoperatively undetected cancer (R = 0.518, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Pancreaticoduodenectomy in FAP is associated with significant morbidity, but low mortality. All patients under consideration for operative intervention require careful preoperative counselling and optimization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS The prevalence of gastric polyps, duodenal adenoma and duodenal cancer has been reported as being high among familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) patients, but there have been no reports of this association in Korea. This study evaluated the prevalence of gastric and duodenal polyps and risk factors for duodenal neoplasm in FAP patients in Korea. METHODS We reviewed both initial and follow-up endoscopic results from FAP patients. We also investigated the treatment modality of duodenal adenomas and analyzed the risk factors of duodenal neoplasms by logistic regression analysis. RESULTS A total of 148 patients with FAP underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), and the fi ndings were as follows: gastric polyp 39.9% (fundic gland polyp 25.7% and gastric adenoma 14.2%), duodenal adenoma 15.5%, gastric cancer 2.7%, and duodenal cancer 0.7%. There were two cases of gastric cancer that developed from benign gastric polyps. There were progressions of duodenal adenomatosis during follow-up, and some degree of relapse occurred after endoscopic resection. Patients with gastric polyps showed a correlation with the occurrence of duodenal neoplasm (odds ratio, 2.814; p=0.024). CONCLUSIONS In Korean FAP patients, gastric cancer was detected more frequently, but fundic gland polyps, duodenal adenoma and duodenal cancer were detected less frequently than in Western patients. FAP patients with gastric polyps should undergo regular EGD, particularly for the early detection of duodenal neoplasia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Duodenal adenomas develop in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis, incurring a risk of carcinoma. When this risk is high, surgery is indicated. The choice of surgical treatment can be difficult as evidence-based data are lacking. METHODS This is a systematic review of the literature on the non-medical management of duodenal lesions arising in the setting of familial adenomatous polyposis. Studies were identified through searching MEDLINE. Studies published between January 1965 and October 2009 were included. Data regarding number of subjects, complications, length of follow-up, recurrence rate and outcome were extracted. RESULTS Transduodenal resection does not differ from an endoscopic approach in terms of recurrence. Ampullectomy has limited application as only papillary lesions are amenable to treatment in this manner. Duodenectomy with pancreas preservation is preferable to pancreaticoduodenectomy unless malignancy is present, or cannot be excluded. CONCLUSION Surgery should be reserved for advanced or malignant polyps.

INTRODUCTION Management and outcomes for duodenal adenomas may vary based on etiology, familial versus sporadic. We reviewed the records of patients managed at our institution for duodenal adenomatous polyps for the 20-year period ending July 2006. DISCUSSION Methods of polyp resection (endoscopic, local surgical resection, or definitive surgical resection) within both sporadic and familial patient groups were compared. Patients with known cancer were excluded. Two hundred seventy-eight patients with duodenal polyps were followed during this time period: 110 patients (39.6%) with sporadic polyps and 168 (60.4%) with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). Sporadic patients presented at a mean age of 66.5 years. Endoscopic resection was attempted in 44 patients (40%) with morbidity in 9% and local recurrence rate of 52% with a mean follow-up of 43 months. Surgical resection was performed in 46 patients (42%): 27 by definitive resection and local resection in 19. At a mean follow-up of 41 months, there were no local recurrences in the patients treated by definitive resection and six recurrences (32%) after local resection. Morbidity was 39%. There was a significant difference in local recurrence when comparing definitive resection to both endoscopic and local resection (p<0.001, p=0.002, respectively), but no significant difference between endoscopic and local excision (p=0.13). Cancer was discovered in the surgical specimens of 11 patients (24%) with benign preoperative biopsies. FAP patients began surveillance at a mean age of 39.5 years, and mean surveillance duration was 100 months. Endoscopic resection/ablation was attempted in 40 patients (24%) with a morbidity of 7.5%. With a mean follow-up of 77.5 months, the local recurrence rate was 72.5%. Surgical resection was performed in with local recurrence rates of 9% and 100%, respectively. Surgical morbidity was 48%. Local recurrence was significantly lower following definitive resection compared to endoscopic or local resection (p<0.001), but there was no difference in local recurrence between the latter two groups (p=0.29). Four patients (8%) undergoing surgery were discovered to have invasive cancer despite benign endoscopic biopsies. In summary, endoscopic and local surgical management for both sporadic and familial duodenal polyps are associated with a high rate of local recurrence. Definitive resection in the form of pancreaticoduodenectomy, pancreas-sparing duodenectomy, or segmental duodenectomy offers the best chance for polyp eradication and prevention of carcinoma, regardless of polyp etiology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Duodenal cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in familial adenomatous polyposis after colorectal cancer. The lifetime risk for developing duodenal cancer is 4% to 10%. Current treatment guidelines recommend endoscopic surveillance with a prophylactic pancreaticoduodenectomy in advanced duodenal polyposis, defined using the Spigelman staging system. Because no clinical trials have assessed this recommendation, a modeling approach was used to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of various treatment strategies. METHODS A Markov model was constructed to estimate the life expectancy and cost of three different strategies: pancreaticoduodenectomy at Spigelman stage III, pancreaticoduodenectomy at Spigelman stage IV, and pancreaticoduodenectomy at cancer diagnosis. A cohort of 30-year-old familial adenomatous polyposis patients with total colectomies was simulated until age 80. The analysis was from a societal perspective. Extensive sensitivity analysis was performed to assess the impact of model uncertainty on results. RESULTS At all stages of polyposis and all ages <80 years, prophylactic surgery at Spigelman stage IV resulted in the greatest life expectancy. Surgery at stage IV was more effective and more expensive than surgery at cancer diagnosis, with an incremental cost of $3,200 per quality-adjusted life year gained. Surgery at stage III was not a viable option. The results were robust to wide variation in model parameters but were sensitive to the post-pancreaticoduodenectomy quality of life score. CONCLUSIONS Prophylactic pancreaticoduodenectomy at stage IV duodenal polyposis in familial adenomatous polyposis is a cost-effective approach that results in greater life expectancy than surgery at either stage III or cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Most patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) develop duodenal adenomas; duodenal cancer is a major cause of mortality in this patient group. We reviewed cases of duodenal cancer in patients with FAP to identify factors that determine long-term cancer risk. METHODS Twenty FAP patients (12 male) were identified from a registry database search. Data from registry and medical notes and endoscopic and histopathologic reports were evaluated. RESULTS Of the cancers that developed in these patients, 11 were ampullary and 9 were duodenal. The median age at cancer diagnosis was 53 years. Seventeen patients died (median age at death, 57 y; median survival from diagnosis, 11 mo); the cause of death was metastatic or duodenal/ampullary cancer in 14 patients. Fifteen patients presented symptomatically (including 3 interval cancers while on surveillance). Two were diagnosed at surveillance and 3 were diagnosed during surgery performed for endoscopic features of advanced benign disease. Duodenal cancers were associated with a significantly lower mean colonic polyp count than ampullary cancers (496 +/- 282 vs 1322 +/- 735; P = .025); there appeared to be familial clustering of this cancer. When endoscopic data were available (n = 11 of 20), all ampullary cancers arose from ampullas greater than 1 cm. The Spigelman stage did not predict risk of ampullary cancer but did predict duodenal cancer (median stage 2 vs stage 4 for duodenal cancer). CONCLUSIONS Once cancer arises in patients with FAP, prognosis is poor, so cancer prevention should be the main goal. Surveillance intervals should reflect both Spigelman staging and ampullary disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreas-preserving total duodenectomy (PPTD) was introduced as a replacement for pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) for familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). This study analysed the results of PPTD in the Netherlands and reviewed the relevant literature. METHODS All 26 patients who underwent PPTD for FAP in four centres in the Netherlands between January 2000 and January 2007 were compared with a group of 77 patients who had PD for ampulla of Vater adenocarcinoma at one centre during the same interval. RESULTS Morbidity rates were similar after PPTD for FAP (16 patients, 62 per cent) and PD for ampulla of Vater adenocarcinoma (44 patients, 57 per cent) (P = 0.694). One patient (4 per cent) died after PPTD and two (3 per cent) after PD. A review of the literature, including patients from the present study, found that 71 patients had PPTD, with postoperative morbidity in 36 (51 per cent) and one death (1 per cent). In publications containing a total of 94 patients who underwent PD for FAP, 43 (46 per cent) developed complications and three (3 per cent) died. CONCLUSION PPTD has similar short-term results to PD in terms of morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND No data on incidence, management, or natural history of chyle leaks following pancreatic resection have been published. We sought to identify possible risk factors associated with chyle leaks following pancreatic resection, as well as determine the natural history of this rare complication. METHODS Between 1993 and 2008, 3,532 patients underwent pancreatic resection at a single institution. Data on demographics, operative details, primary tumor status, and chyle leak were collected. To identify risk factors associated with chyle leak, a matched 3:1 paired analysis was performed. RESULTS Of 3,532 patients undergoing pancreatic resection, 47 (1.3%) developed a chyle leak (n = 34, contained chyle leak versus n = 13, diffuse chylous ascites). Chyle leak was identified at median 5 days following surgery. Median drain triglyceride levels were 592 ng/dl. After matching on tumor size, disease etiology, and resection type, the number of lymph nodes harvested and history of concomitant vascular resection predicted higher risk of chyle leak (both P < 0.05). Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) was required in more patients with chylous ascites (92.3%) than those with chyle leaks (44.1%) (P = 0.003). The median time to resolution was shorter for contained chyle leaks (13 days) versus chylous ascites (36 days) (P < 0.001). Patients with chylous ascites tended to have shorter overall survival (3-year, 18.8%) versus patients with no chyle leak (3-year, 46.9%) (P = 0.12). In contrast, patients with a contained chyle leak had a similar survival as patients with no chyle leak (3-year, 53.4% versus 46.9%, respectively) (P = 0.32). CONCLUSION Chyle leak was a rare (1.3%) complication following pancreatic resection that was associated with number of lymph nodes harvested and concomitant vascular resection. In general, chyle leaks were successfully managed with TPN with no adverse impact on outcome. Patients with chylous ascites, however, had a more protracted clinical course and tended to have a worse long-term survival.

Abstract
Familial colorectal cancer (CRC) accounts for 10% to 20% of all cases of CRC. Two major autosomal dominant forms of heritable CRC are familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and Lynch syndrome (also known as hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer). Along with the risk for CRC, both syndromes are associated with elevated risk for other tumors. Improved understanding of the genetic basis of these diseases has not only facilitated the identification and screening of at-risk individuals and the development of prophylactic or early-stage intervention strategies but also provided better insight into sporadic CRC. This article reviews the clinical and genetic characteristics of FAP and Lynch syndrome, recommended screening and surveillance practices, and appropriate surgical and nonsurgical interventions.

Abstract
Small-bowel tumours are an important cause of morbidity and death in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis. Intensive endoscopic surveillance is now standard in the long-term management of this condition. Thus, lesions occurring throughout the small bowel are increasingly noted by oesophagogastroduodenoscopy and flexible pouchoscopy. Some occur commonly de novo (in stomach, duodenum and ampulla), while others may occur following surgery (polyps of the ileostomy, ileoanal pouch, or small bowel above an anastomosis). These differ widely in incidence, natural history and management. This review provides a regional overview of these lesions, in terms of current research findings and management protocols.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Duodenal adenomatosis is a premalignant condition often not treatable by local resection or endoscopy. An option for treatment is a pylorus-preserving (pp)-Whipple resection. Since the introduction of pancreas-preserving total duodenectomy (PPTD), the question has arisen whether a pp-Whipple resection is still needed to treat duodenal adenomatosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS In a 5-year period 23 PPTDs were performed for duodenal adenomatosis. In a matched-pairs analysis the outcome following PPTD (16 patients with a follow-up longer than 12 months) was compared with pp-Whipple. RESULTS Hospital mortality in all 23 patients was 4.3% and total morbidity 30% after PPTD. Operation time, intensive care and hospital stay, morbidity, and mortality were comparable between the matched paired groups (16 patients). Patients with PPTD had significantly lower intraoperative blood loss. No PPTD patient required pancreatic enzyme substitution, compared with 12 patients after pp-Whipple. Quality-of-life analysis in PPTD patients revealed no difference compared to a normal control population and the pp-Whipple group. CONCLUSIONS PPTD is a safe surgical procedure for duodenal adenomatosis that avoids pancreatic head resection, provides high quality of life, and shows advantages over the pp-Whipple procedure.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The morphological changes associated with the adenoma-carcinoma sequence are well documented in the colorectum. Small intestinal carcinogenesis is thought to progress through a similar adenoma-to-carcinoma pathway, but there is a relative dearth of studies examining the associated morphological changes. The best-known mouse model of intestinal neoplasia, the multiple intestinal neoplasia (Min) mouse, has been criticized as a genetic model of intestinal neoplasia, as the majority of its tumours occur in the small intestine. We examined pancreatico-duodenal resection specimens from seven familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) patients. Serial sections of these were stained with haematoxylin and eosin for beta-catenin and its downstream target CD44, for BMPR1a, lysozyme, carbonic anhydrase II, and with MIB-1. Individual dysplastic crypts were isolated and mutations in the FAP (APC) gene compared between the top and bottom of the crypt. We found that: (a) duodenal microadenomas are extremely common in FAP patients; (b) these grow in the core of duodenal villi, forming lesions similar to those described in the Min mouse; (c) many lesions arise as monocryptal adenomas and grow by a process of crypt fission and branching; (d) migrating adenomatous cells lose their dysplastic phenotype as they migrate up the crypt villous axis; and (e) Paneth cells lose positional information. IN CONCLUSION (a) the morphological similarity of adenomas in the Min mouse and human suggest the Min mouse is a good model of FAP; (b) duodenal adenomas in FAP originate in monocryptal adenomas and follow the 'bottom-up' rather than the 'top-down' model of morphogenesis; (c) early microadenomas show evidence of cellular differentiation; (d) defects in the positioning of Paneth cells suggests disruption of the EphB2:EphB3 receptor system.

Abstract
Almost all patients affected by Familial Adenomatous polyposis (FAP) will develop foregut as well as hindgut polyps, and following prophylactic colectomy duodenal cancer constitutes one of the leading causes of death in screened populations. Without prophylactic colectomy, FAP patients predictably develop colorectal cancer, but the lifetime risk of upper gastrointestinal cancer is lower, estimated at approximately 5%. Management of the upper gastrointestinal cancer risk is one of the greatest challenges facing clinicians involved in the care of Polyposis families, and with improved survival following prophylactic colectomy, the burden of foregut disease (particularly duodenal adenomatosis) will increase. Until recently, the value of upper gastrointestinal surveillance in FAP populations has been contentious, but with improved understanding of the natural history coupled with developments in surgery, interventional endoscopy and medical therapy, treatment algorithms for duodenal adenomatosis in FAP are becoming clearer.

Abstract
Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is an autosomal-dominant colorectal cancer syndrome, caused by a germline mutation in the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene, on chromosome 5q21. It is characterized by hundreds of adenomatous colorectal polyps, with an almost inevitable progression to colorectal cancer at an average age of 35 to 40 yr. Associated features include upper gastrointestinal tract polyps, congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium, desmoid tumors, and other extracolonic malignancies. Gardner syndrome is more of a historical subdivision of FAP, characterized by osteomas, dental anomalies, epidermal cysts, and soft tissue tumors. Other specified variants include Turcot syndrome (associated with central nervous system malignancies) and hereditary desmoid disease. Several genotype-phenotype correlations have been observed. Attenuated FAP is a phenotypically distinct entity, presenting with fewer than 100 adenomas. Multiple colorectal adenomas can also be caused by mutations in the human MutY homologue (MYH) gene, in an autosomal recessive condition referred to as MYH associated polyposis (MAP). Endoscopic screening of FAP probands and relatives is advocated as early as the ages of 10-12 yr, with the objective of reducing the occurrence of colorectal cancer. Colectomy remains the optimal prophylactic treatment, while the choice of procedure (subtotal vs proctocolectomy) is still controversial. Along with identifying better chemopreventive agents, optimizing screening of extracolonic cancers and applying new radiological and endoscopic technology to the diagnosis and management of extracolonic features are the major challenges for the future.

Abstract
Familiar adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is a hereditary disease characterized by the development of multiple adenomatous polyps in the gastrointestinal tract and colorectal cancer in practically all patients who do not receive appropriate treatment. Although the most commonly involved region in this disease is the colorectal area, it is well known that adenomas can also develop in the upper gastrointestinal tract, mainly in the periampullary area of the duodenum. Because of the possibility of malignant transformation of these polyps, adequate monitoring is required, even though the optimal follow-up schedule has not yet been defined. In the present article, we report a case of a gastric adenocarcinoma detected during the follow-up of a patient diagnosed with FAP, as well as a review of the literature on this subject. We stress the need for early detection and appropriate management of this disease. Sufficient information is available to support the use of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy with lateral vision and serial biopsies of the periampullary region in these patients. The first endoscopy in patients with FAP should be performed at the age of 20 years or at diagnosis. Subsequently, a follow-up schedule should be designed, according to the number and histological characteristics of the polyps observed.

Abstract
PURPOSE Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is characterised by colonic and duodenal adenomatous polyps that carry a risk of malignant transformation. Malignant degeneration of duodenal adenomas is difficult to detect. We speculated that 2-((18)F)-fluoro-2-deoxy-D: -glucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) might be able to detect early duodenal cancer in FAP. Accordingly, we investigated the role of FDG-PET in the management of FAP patients. METHODS FDG-PET was performed in 24 FAP patients. Eight had advanced duodenal adenomas (Spigelman IV), including two patients with duodenal cancer. Scans were defined as positive on the basis of focal FDG accumulation. RESULTS Pathological FDG accumulation was absent in 19 of 24 patients. All six patients with Spigelman IV duodenal adenomas (without cancer) were negative; two of these underwent a duodenectomy and pathological examination did not reveal duodenal cancer. In five patients, FDG-PET revealed significant uptake, in the duodenum (2), lower abdomen (1), lung (1) and multiple sites in the abdomen (1). These hot spots correlated with duodenal cancer (2), abdominal metastasis (1) and sclerosing haemangioma of the lung (1). We failed to make a histopathological diagnosis in the single patient with multiple intra-abdominal sites of FDG uptake. None of the patients from the FDG-PET-negative group developed cancer during follow-up (mean 2.8 years). CONCLUSION FDG-PET detected all the cancers present, and none of the patients with negative FDG-PET developed cancer. This suggests that positive FDG-PET in FAP patients should lead to further examinations to rule out cancer. In patients with negative FDG-PET a more conservative approach seems justified.

Abstract
AIMS 1/ To report our experience with multivisceral resections in familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) for extracolorectal lesions in a cohort of nine patients. 2/ Discuss the long term results of an agressive surgery. PATIENTS AND METHODS Nine patients (7 males and 2 females) were operated at the University Hospital of Nimes (N=4) and Nantes (N=5). The median age at the first operation was 29 years (range 18-43). A genetic study was performed in six patients and confirmed the mutation on APC gene (exon 11, 13 and 15). All the patients were operated through a classic laparotomy. RESULTS All patients have underwent a mean of three operations (range 2-5). Eight patients have had initially a total colectomy and 4 underwent subsequent proctectomy. Seven patients had pancreaticoduodenectomy for extensive duodenal adenomas and/or carcinoma. Three had one or multiple small bowel resections for development of carcinoma and one had partial gastric resection for large adenovillous tumor. The median follow up was 25 years (range 15-37) since the first operation. Three patients were died: one of gastric cancer with hepatic metastases, one of peritoneal carcinosis after ileal resection and one of astrocytoma. CONCLUSION With regard to these nine observations, the authors underline the possibility of multivisceral resection in FAP. Despite a major digestive mutilation, it permits a long survival with acceptable quality of life. The prognosis depends on the aggressiveness of the duodenal or jejunoileal lesions more than of the colorectal tumors if found at the first resection.
