Abstract
INTRODUCTION APC-associated polyposis is a rare hereditary disorder characterized by the development of multiple adenomas in the digestive tract. Individuals with APC-associated polyposis need to be managed by specialized multidisciplinary teams in dedicated centers. AREAS COVERED The study aimed to review the literature on Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) to provide an update on diagnostic and surgical management while focusing on strategies to minimize the risk of desmoid-type fibromatosis, cancer in anorectal remnant, and postoperative complications. FAP individuals require a comprehensive approach that includes diagnosis, surveillance, preventive surgery, and addressing specific extracolonic concerns such as duodenal and desmoid tumors. Management should be personalized considering all factors: genotype, phenotype, and personal needs. Total colectomy and ileo-rectal anastomosis have been shown to yield superior QoL results when compared to Restorative Procto colectomy and ileopouch-anal anastomosis with acceptable oncological risk of developing cancer in the rectal stump if patients rigorously adhere to lifelong endoscopic surveillance. Additionally, a low-inflammatory diet may prevent adenomas and cancer by modulating systemic and tissue inflammatory indices. EXPERT OPINION FAP management requires a multidisciplinary and personalized approach. Integrating genetic advances, innovative surveillance techniques, and emerging therapeutic modalities will contribute to improving outcomes and quality of life for FAP individuals.

Abstract
Background and study aims Some patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and extensive duodenal polyposis or cancer require total duodenectomy. Regular postoperative endoscopic surveillance of the remaining jejunum and stomach is recommended, but little is known about the outcomes after this surgery. Patients and methods Patients with FAP who underwent either pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) or pancreas-preserving total duodenectomy (PPTD) were identified at two expert centers. Data about postoperative endoscopic surveillance outcomes were collected, as well as survival outcomes. Results Overall, 119 patients (50% female) underwent duodenectomy (86 PD and 33 PPTD); 100 for benign duodenal polyposis and 19 for duodenal or ampullary cancer. Details of postoperative endoscopic surveillance were available for 88 patients (74%). During a median follow-up of 106 months, 36 patients (41%) were diagnosed with jejunal adenomas after duodenectomy, with a significantly higher proportion in patients who underwent PPTD compared with patients who underwent PD (log-rank, P < 0.01). Two patients developed jejunal cancer (2%). Twenty-six patients (30%) were diagnosed with a total of 66 gastric adenomas, of which 61% were located in the fundus/body and 39% in the antrum. Five patients (6%) developed gastric cancer after a median of 15 years (range 6-23 years), all but one within carpeting fundic gland polyposis. Patients who underwent surgery for cancer had worse survival than patients with benign disease and all but one patient with postoperative gastric/jejunal cancer died. Conclusions After duodenectomy in FAP, a considerable risk of developing adenomas and cancer in the stomach and jejunum exists with poor cancer prognosis, highlighting the need for close postoperative endoscopic surveillance.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Individuals with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) have an almost 20% lifetime risk of duodenal adenocarcinoma, currently the leading cause of death in FAP. The Spigelman staging system provides guidance on the surveillance intervals and timing of prophylactic surgery. Still, its accuracy in predicting duodenal and papillary cancer development has not been systematically evaluated. We investigated the sensitivity and cancer risk of the Spigelman stages. METHODS We performed a systematic review on PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane and used a random-effects model to pool effect sizes. RESULTS After removing duplicate entries, we screened 1,170 records and included 27 studies for quantitative analysis. Once duodenal polyposis reaches Spigelman stage IV, the risk of duodenal and papillary cancers increased to 25% (95% confidence interval [CI] 12%-45%). However, the sensitivity of Spigelman stage IV for these cancers was low (51%, 95% CI 42%-60%), especially for papillary adenocarcinoma (39%, 95% CI 16%-68%). We investigated the reasons behind these low values and observed that duodenal cancer risk factors included polyps >10 mm, polyp count >20, and polyps with high-grade dysplasia. Risk factors associated with papillary cancer included a papilla with high-grade dysplasia or >10 mm. The evidence on other risk factors was inconclusive. DISCUSSION The current Spigelman staging system had a low sensitivity for duodenal and papillary adenocarcinomas. Two Spigelman variables (duodenal villous histology and polyp count) and the lack of papilla-specific variables likely contributed to the low sensitivity values for duodenal and papillary cancers, respectively. While clinicians may be familiar with its current form, there is an urgent need to update it.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Management of duodenal or ampullary adenomas in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is a major challenge for clinicians. Insufficient data are available to evaluate the clinical manifestations and distribution of adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) variants in these patients. METHODS We enrolled 451 patients with data regarding duodenal or ampullary polyps from 632 patients with FAP retrospectively registered in a nationwide Japanese multicenter study. Clinicopathological features and distribution of APC variants were compared between patients with and without duodenal or ampullary polyps. RESULTS Duodenal and ampullary polyps were found in 59% and 18% of patients with FAP, respectively. The incidence of duodenal cancer was 4.7% in patients with duodenal polyps, and that of ampullary cancer was 18% in patients with ampullary polyps. Duodenal polyps were significantly associated with the presence of ampullary polyps and jejunal/ileal polyps. Duodenal polyps progressed in 35% of patients with a median follow-up of 776 days, mostly in those with early Spigelman stage lesions. Ampullary polyps progressed in 50% of patients with a follow-up of 1484 days. However, only one patient developed a malignancy. The proportion of patients with duodenal polyps was significantly higher among those with intermediate- or profuse-type APC variants than attenuated-type APC variants. The presence of duodenal polyps was significantly associated with ampullary and jejunal/ileal polyps in patients with intermediate- or profuse-type APC variants. CONCLUSIONS Periodic endoscopic surveillance of the papilla of Vater and small intestine should be planned for patients with FAP with duodenal polyps.

Abstract
Background and study aims In patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), endoscopic resection of duodenal adenomas is commonly performed to prevent cancer and prevent or defer duodenal surgery. However, based on studies using different resection techniques, adverse events (AEs) of polypectomy in the duodenum can be significant. We hypothesized that cold snare polypectomy (CSP) is a safe technique for duodenal adenomas in FAP and evaluated its outcomes in our centers. Patients and methods We performed a prospective international cohort study including FAP patients who underwent CSP for one or more superficial non-ampullary duodenal adenomas of any size between 2020 and 2022. At that time, this technique was common practice in our centers for superficial duodenal adenomas. The primary outcome was the occurrence of intraprocedural and post-procedural AEs. Results In total, 133 CSPs were performed in 39 patients with FAP (1-18 per session). Median adenoma size was 10 mm (interquartile range 8-15 mm), ranging from 5 to 40 mm; 27 adenomas were ≥20 mm (20%). Of the 133 polypectomies, 109 (82%) were performed after submucosal injection. Sixty-one adenomas (46%) were resected en bloc and 72 (54%) piecemeal. Macroscopic radical resection was achieved for 129 polypectomies (97%). Deep mural injury type II occurred in three polyps (2%) with no delayed perforation after prophylactic clipping. There were no clinically significant bleeds, perforations or other post-procedural AEs. Histopathology showed low-grade dysplasia in all 133 adenomas. Conclusions CSP for (multiple) superficial non-ampullary duodenal adenomas in FAP seems feasible and safe. Long-term prospective research is needed to evaluate whether protocolized duodenal polypectomies prevent cancer and surgery.

Abstract
Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is an autosomal dominant syndrome predisposing affected individuals to gastrointestinal (GI) cancers through a high burden of polyposis. Colorectal cancer rates reach 100% by the age of 45, making early colectomy a mainstay of treatment. While most patients undergo colectomy at an early age, ongoing screening and surveillance of the upper gastrointestinal tract and rectal pouch must continue throughout adulthood. Endoscopic therapy of gastric, duodenal, ampullary and rectal pouch polyps is critical to reduce morbidity and cancer related mortality. Management of these lesions is not uniform, and is dependent on their location, size, histology, and risk of malignant potential. Medical therapies targeting pathways that reduce the malignant progression of pre-cancerous lesions have been studied for many years. While studies on the use of aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) in chemoprevention have shown encouraging results in Lynch syndrome and primary colorectal cancer, the potential benefits of these medications have not been duplicated in FAP cohorts. While data remains limited on chemoprevention in FAP, a number of randomized trials are currently underway examining targeted therapies with the potential to slow the progression of the disease. This review aims to provide an in-depth review of the literature on current endoscopic options and chemopreventive therapies targeting FAP. While the endoscopic management has robust data for its use, chemoprevention in FAP is still in its infancy. The complementary use of chemopreventive agents and endoscopic therapy for FAP patients is quickly becoming a growing and exciting area of research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is a hereditary disorder that predisposes patients to colorectal cancer (CRC). Prophylactic colectomy has greatly reduced the risk of CRC. However, new associations between FAP and the risk of other cancers have subsequently emerged. In this study, we assessed the risk of specific primary and secondary cancers among patients with FAP compared with matched controls. METHODS All known patients with FAP up until April 2021 were identified in the nationwide Danish Polyposis Register and paired with 4 unique controls matched by birth year, sex, and postal code. The risk of overall cancers, specific cancer types, and risk of a second primary cancer was assessed and compared with controls. RESULTS The analysis included 565 patients with FAP and 1890 controls. The overall risk of cancer was significantly higher for patients with FAP than for controls (hazard ratio [HR], 4.12; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.28-5.17; P < .001). The increased risk was mainly due to CRC (HR, 4.61; 95% CI, 2.58-8.22; P < .001), pancreatic cancer (HR, 6.45; 95% CI, 2.02-20.64; P = .002), and duodenal/small-bowel cancer (HR, 14.49; 95% CI, 1.76-119.47; P = .013), whereas no significant difference was observed for gastric cancer (HR, 3.29; 95% CI, 0.53-20.23; P = .20). Furthermore, the risk of a second primary cancer was significantly higher for patients with FAP (HR, 1.89; 95% CI, 1.02-3.50; P = .042). Between 1980 and 2020, the risk of cancer among patients with FAP decreased by ∼50%. CONCLUSIONS Despite an absolute reduction in the risk of developing cancer among patients with FAP, the risk remained significantly higher than for the background population due to colorectal, pancreatic, and duodenal/small-bowel cancers.

Abstract
Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is an autosomal dominant colorectal cancer syndrome that is characterized by the development of multiple adenomas in the colon and rectum with high penetrance rates. This disease has specific features like the occurrence of pathogenic variations in the APC gene and diverse FAP phenotypes due to the occurrence region. In this study we aimed to evaluate pathogenic variants in exons of the APC gene in Iranian patients with FAP. A total of 35 FAP individuals were referred to the gastroenterology ward of Taleghani Hospital. As the aim of the study was to study the germline variations in the participants, the peripheral blood was collected and after the DNA extraction, PCR, and Sanger sequencing processes for the APC gene, the results were evaluated by the ACMG classification guidelines to report their pathogenicity. Accordingly, out of eight specific detected variants, three of them were novel, and the rest were reported previously. These eight variants were all truncating protein and pathogenic, and they were limited to 849-1378 codons. Overall, detected variants revealed discrepancies and parallels with previous reported cases in terms of quantity, occurrence region, and association with demographic and clinicopathological characteristics of patients. The spectrum of detected variants and the patient's phenotype showed distinct characteristics, such as occurrence in specific regions and the absence of extracolonic symptoms like Congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium (CHRPE). These findings open the path to comprehending the typical symptoms, their rarity, and their occurrence in the Iranian population and also due to the facts, we found that the studying of the APC gene alone for diagnosing FAP disease is not sufficient, and considering other genes are completely rational in the case of sequencing and studying the variants.

Genotype-phenotype correlation of small-intestinal polyps on small-bowel capsule endoscopy in familial adenomatous polyposis. Gastrointest Endosc 2023; 97:59-68.e7. [PMID: 36084716 DOI: 10.1016/j.gie.2022.08.042] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2022] [Revised: 08/18/2022] [Accepted: 08/30/2022] [Indexed: 01/20/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS In familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), neoplastic lesions outside the colon have become increasingly important. The genotype-phenotype correlation has been established for duodenal polyps, and regular screening is recommended. However, this correlation remains unclear for small-intestinal lesions, except for reports on the relationship between their occurrence and Spigelman stage. Here, we used small-bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE) to investigate the genotype-phenotype correlation of small-intestinal polyps in FAP. METHODS The genotype-phenotype correlation of small-intestinal polyps was investigated in patients with FAP who underwent SBCE, Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), and adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene analysis. Of 64 patients with FAP who underwent SBCE, 41 were included in the final analysis, 4 did not undergo a complete small intestine examination, and 19 did not undergo genetic analysis. RESULTS The prevalence (median number) of small-intestinal polyps by Spigelman stage was 26% (1.5), 0% (0), 44% (5), 60% (4), and 73% (25.5) for stages 0 to IV, respectively. Significantly more small-intestinal polyps were found in Spigelman stage III and IV groups than in the stage 0 group (P < .05). The APC variant was negative for 6 patients (15%), and the sites associated with more than 5 small-intestinal polyps were codons 278, 1062, 1114, 1281, 1307, 1314, and 1504. CONCLUSIONS In FAP patients, SBCE surveillance is potentially recommended for patients with pathogenic variants in the APC gene at codons 278 and 1062 to 1504 or with Spigelman stage III or higher.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), extensive nonmalignant duodenal polyposis not amenable to endoscopic management demands surgical resection for which pancreas-preserving total duodenectomy (PPTD) offers a pancreatic parenchyma sparing approach. METHODS This is a retrospective cohort study including consecutive patients who underwent PPTD for FAP. Reconstruction involved a Billroth II anastomosis with a short isolated jejunal limb to facilitate future endoscopic surveillance. Short and long-term outcomes were evaluated. RESULTS Overall, 30 patients underwent PPTD for Spigelman stage III (n = 6) or IV (n = 24). Sixteen patients experienced a severe complication (Clavien-Dindo grade III/IV) including postoperative pancreatic fistula (ISGPS grade B/C) in twelve. There was no all cause in-hospital and 90-day mortality. During follow-up (median 125 months), five patients developed acute pancreatitis, one new-onset diabetes and one exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. During endoscopic surveillance in 27 patients, jejunal adenomas were detected in 22 and advanced adenomas in 11. An additional surgical resection was required in four patients with extensive jejunal polyposis. None developed jejunal cancer. The 10-year overall survival rate was 93.3%. CONCLUSION Postoperative morbidity after PPTD is substantial but on the long-term, rates of pancreatic insufficiencies are low. Most patients develop jejunal adenomas at follow-up, highlighting the need for endoscopic surveillance.

Abstract
Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is a hereditary disease that, without intervention, will cause nearly all patients to develop colorectal cancer by the age of 45. However, even after prophylactic colorectal surgery the eventual development of duodenal adenomas leads to an additional risk of duodenal and ampullary cancers. Endoscopy is an essential part of the multidisciplinary management of FAP to aid the early identification or prevention of advanced gastrointestinal malignancy. This review article details the current evidence and consensus guidance available regarding the role of endoscopic surveillance and treatment strategies for FAP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In patients with APC-associated polyposis, the prevalence of upper gastrointestinal tumors and the relationship between these and Helicobacter pylori infection have not been clarified in detail. The present study aimed to clarify the features of upper gastrointestinal lesions in patients with APC-associated polyposis. METHODS Consecutive patients with APC-associated polyposis who underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy between 2004 and 2018 were recruited. RESULTS In total, 36 patients were enrolled. The types of gastrointestinal tumor observed were fundic gland polyposis in 28 patients (77.8%), gastric adenoma in 15 patients (41.7%), duodenal adenoma in 27 patients (75.0%) and periampullary adenoma in 20 patients (55.6%). The phenotype of these upper gastrointestinal tumors was not necessarily the same in patients belonging to the same family. Germline variants in the APC gene were distributed across various sites, regardless of the presence or absence of upper gastrointestinal lesions, and none of the tumors correlated with the genotype or phenotype of upper gastrointestinal tumors. Fundic gland polyposis was observed in 28 of 31 patients without a H. pylori infection and in none of the patients with a H. pylori infection (P = 0.00015). After eradication therapy for H. pylori, fundic gland polyposis developed in one, previously infected patient. CONCLUSION The upper gastrointestinal tumor phenotype was not associated with the genotype in patients with APC-associated polyposis. Ascertaining the H. pylori infection status is helpful for endoscopic surveillance of upper gastrointestinal tumors in patients with APC-associated polyposis.

Abstract
Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and MUTYH-associated polyposis (MAP) are rare inherited polyposis syndromes with a high colorectal cancer (CRC) risk. Therefore, frequent endoscopic surveillance including polypectomy of relevant premalignant lesions from a young age is warranted in patients. In FAP and less often in MAP, prophylactic colectomy is indicated followed by lifelong endoscopic surveillance of the retained rectum after (sub)total colectomy and ileal pouch after proctocolectomy to prevent CRC. No consensus is reached on the right type and timing of colectomy. As patients with FAP and MAP nowadays have an almost normal life-expectancy due to adequate treatment of colorectal polyposis, challenges in the management of FAP and MAP have shifted towards the treatment of duodenal and gastric adenomas as well as desmoid treatment in FAP. Whereas up until recently upper gastrointestinal surveillance was mostly diagnostic and patients were referred for surgery once duodenal or gastric polyposis was advanced, nowadays endoscopic treatment of premalignant lesions is widely performed. Aiming to reduce polyp burden in the colorectum as well as in the upper gastrointestinal tract, several chemopreventive agents are currently being studied.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Ampullary adenomas (AAs), common in familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), are precursors to ampullary carcinoma. We assessed the natural history of AAs and factors associated with clinically significant progression (CSP). METHODS Consecutive FAP patients with AAs and at least 2 EGDs were identified from a hereditary GI cancer registry. We assessed the incidence of CSP (increase in size to ≥10 mm and/or development of advanced histology) of AAs. Clinical, endoscopic, and pathologic features between patients with CSP and nonprogressors were compared. RESULTS One hundred forty-three patients with AAs were included. Over a median follow-up of 7.8 years (interquartile range, 4.3-11.1), 41 patients (28.6%) developed CSP for an incidence of 35 per 1000 patient-years. Of 143 patients, 22 (15.6%) progressed to AAs ≥10 mm, 12 (8.5%) progressed to advanced histology, and 7 (4.9%) progressed both in size and histology. Two patients (1.4%) developed ampullary cancer. Male gender, abnormal appearance of the papilla at initial AA detection, prior cholecystectomy, and personal history of extracolonic malignancy were associated with CSP. Neither Spigelman stage nor the adenomatous polyposis coli gene pathogenic variants were associated with CSP. An intervention specifically for AA and not duodenal polyposis was performed in 24% of patients with AAs, including endoscopic papillectomy in 23 patients and duodenectomy in 3 patients at a median observation of 8.2 years. CONCLUSIONS Most FAP patients with AAs did not experience CSP or require resection over 8 years of surveillance. Ampullary cancer was rare. Male gender, abnormal appearance of the papilla at AA detection, cholecystectomy, and history of extracolonic malignancy were associated with CSP. Our findings favor endoscopic surveillance of AAs over expedited resection for most patients with FAP.

Abstract
Background and aim of the study: Polyposis syndromes such as Peutz–Jeghers (PJ) and familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) are associated with the growth of small bowel polyps; the risk is approximately 60–90% for PJ and 40–70% for FAP. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of device-assisted enteroscopy (DAE) in the detection and treatment of small bowel polyps to reduce the risk of surgery. The secondary objective was to study complications and mortality. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study by analyzing a structured database. Between September 2006 and October 2019, we observed and followed 42 consecutive patients with polyposis syndromes; they underwent device-assisted enteroscopy and three were excluded from elective surgery after the exam. The endoscopic exams were performed for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Results: Thirty-nine patients were evaluated with a mean follow up of 6.7 years (±SD 2.7), 79.5% were female with a mean age of 43.8 years (±SD 15.02), and 68 enteroscopies were performed with the removal of 64 polypoid lesions. One bleeding episode occurred after operative enteroscopy, and the need for subsequent surgery occurred in six patients with PJ and in five patients with FAP. The surgical indications in PJ patients were the presence of large polyps (three patients) and three cases of intussusception, one of which was a patient with a polyp in the proximal ileum, not reachable with the scope. One patient with PJ died from pancreatic cancer during follow up. The surgical indications in patients with FAP were the presence of four large polyps with high-grade dysplasia and one ampullary neoplasia recurrence. Conclusions: In PJ patients, the endoscopic treatment of small bowel polyps was safe. During the follow-up period, the patients with successful endoscopic treatment did not need surgery. In FAP patients treated with DAE, none developed cancer.

Abstract
Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is the development of many adenomatous colorectal polyps. Colonoscopy is recommended to start at age 10 to 12 years at intervals of 1 to 2 years. Colectomy is clearly indicated for malignancy or significant colorectal symptoms. After colectomy, endoscopic surveillance is still critical. Duodenal and gastric polyposis is also found in almost all patients with FAP. Screening with upper endoscopy and ampullary visualization is recommended, generally determined by age and staging of duodenal polyposis, but guidelines are increasingly factoring in ampullary and gastric manifestations. Surgical management of malignancy or advanced upper tract manifestations is needed.

Abstract
Nonampullary duodenal adenomas (NADAs) develop sporadically or in the setting of a hereditary syndrome such as familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). Although they are thought to progress into duodenal adenocarcinomas via an adenoma to carcinoma sequence similar to colorectal cancer, limited data suggested that they may be biologically dissimilar to colorectal adenomas. The clinicopathologic features of 71 patients diagnosed with NADAs (37 FAP and 34 sporadic) were analyzed. From the 71 patients, 89 NADA biopsies (42 FAP and 47 sporadic) were evaluated by DNA flow cytometry. Eighty-two samples showed low-grade dysplasia, and 7 demonstrated high-grade dysplasia (HGD). Twenty-one low-grade adenomas of the ileal pouch (n=19) and jejunum (n=2) from 15 FAP patients who underwent total proctocolectomy were also analyzed by DNA flow cytometry. The FAP patients were more likely to be younger (mean: 28 y) and have multifocal disease (92%) than the sporadic patients (66 y and 24%, respectively) (P<0.001). Most NADAs presented as polypoid lesions (87%) in the duodenal bulb and/or second portion of the duodenum (94%). Sporadic NADAs (mean: 2.4 cm) were significantly larger than FAP-related NADAs (1.3 cm) (P=0.005). Three (4%) patients (2 sporadic and 1 FAP) had high-grade NADAs at the first endoscopy, while the remaining 68 (96%) patients had low-grade dysplasia. Two additional sporadic and 1 FAP patients developed HGD on follow-up. Although the overall detection rate of advanced neoplasia (either HGD or adenocarcinoma) was similar between the FAP (n=5; 14%) and sporadic groups (n=4; 12%) (P=1.000), 3 FAP patients (all with Spigelman stage III to IV) developed adenocarcinoma in the duodenum (n=2) or in the ileal pouch (n=1) within a mean follow-up time of 76 months, while no adenocarcinoma was found in the sporadic group. Of the 37 FAP patients, 29 (78%) had a history of total proctocolectomy, and 15 (52%) developed low-grade adenomas in the ileal pouch with (n=2) or without (n=13) jejunal involvement (vs. 0% in the sporadic patients, P<0.001). All 15 patients had ≥Spigelman stage II. Aneuploidy was detected in only 1 (1%) sporadic NADA with HGD, whereas the remaining 109 duodenal, ileal pouch, and jejunal adenomas showed normal DNA content. The overall 3-, 9-, and 15-year detection rates of adenocarcinoma (in the duodenum and ileal pouch) in all NADA patients were 1.4%, 7.2%, and 18.8%, respectively. Three-, 9-, and 15-year detection rates of adenocarcinoma in the FAP patients were 2.7%, 9.7%, and 22.6%, respectively, while these rates remained at 0% in the sporadic patients. In conclusion, FAP-related NADAs have distinct clinicopathologic features compared with their sporadic counterpart. However, the vast majority of both FAP-related and sporadic NADAs (99%) lack the DNA content abnormality that is characteristic of the typical adenoma-carcinoma sequence involved in other gastrointestinal carcinogenesis. Although adenocarcinoma is more likely to develop in FAP patients with a high adenoma burden, probably due to the higher likelihood that some advanced lesions are missed endoscopically, FAP-related and sporadic NADAs may have a comparable risk of developing advanced neoplasia on a per-adenoma basis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND : Many patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) have adenomatous polyps of the duodenum and the jejunum. We aimed to elucidate the long-term outcomes after double-balloon endoscopy (DBE)-assisted endoscopic resection of duodenal and jejunal polyps in patients with FAP. METHODS : We retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent more than two sessions of endoscopic resection using DBE from August 2004 to July 2018. RESULTS : A total of 72 DBEs were performed in eight patients (median age 30 years, range 12-53; 1.4 DBE procedures/patient-year) during the study period, and 1237 polyps were resected. The median observation period was 77.5 months (range 8-167). There were 11 adverse events, including seven delayed bleeds and four episodes of acute pancreatitis. No delayed bleeding occurred after cold polypectomy. Although, in one patient, one endoscopically resected duodenal polyp was diagnosed as being intramucosal carcinoma, none of the patients developed an advanced duodenal or jejunal cancer during the study period. CONCLUSIONS : Endoscopic resection of duodenal and jejunal polyposis using DBE in patients with FAP can be performed safely, efficiently, and effectively.

Mutational Analysis of a Familial Adenomatous Polyposis Pedigree with Bile Duct Polyp Phenotype. Can J Gastroenterol Hepatol 2021; 2021:6610434. [PMID: 33954154 PMCID: PMC8057911 DOI: 10.1155/2021/6610434] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2020] [Revised: 03/17/2021] [Accepted: 03/29/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
A large number of colorectal cancers have a genetic background in China. However, due to insufficient awareness, the diagnostic rate remains low and merely 5-6% of colorectal cancer patients are diagnosed with hereditary colorectal cancer. Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is an autosomal dominant genetic disease caused by mutations in the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene. Different mutation sites in APC are associated with the severity of FAP, risks of carcinogenesis, and extraintestinal manifestations. We used next-generation sequencing (NGS) and capture techniques to screen suspected mutation points in the proband in this pedigree. Using modified Sanger sequencing, we identified members of the family who were carriers of this variant and whether this segregated well with disease occurrence. FAP family members had multiple adenomatous polyps in their gastrointestinal tracts, some of which developed into cancer with age. Two subjects presented a rare common bile duct polyp phenotype. No extraintestinal manifestations were observed. A heterozygous frameshift mutation in APC exon 16 (NM_000038.6) was observed in the proband and in other patients: c.3260_3261del (p.Leu1087GlnQfs ∗ 31) (rs587782305); the variant call format was CCT/C. Due to the deletion of two bases, a stop codon appeared after 31 amino acids, and the protein was truncated prematurely, which affected the conformation of the protein. Pedigree genetic linkage analysis showed that the clinical phenotype cosegregated with the APC mutation p.L1087fs. This mutation may be the pathogenic in this FAP family and responsible for this rare common bile duct polyp.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Almost all patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) develop duodenal adenomas, with a 4% to 18% risk of progression into duodenal cancer. Prophylactic endoscopic resection of duodenal adenomas may prevent cancer and is considered safer than surgical alternatives; however, data are limited. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess safety and effectiveness of endoscopic duodenal interventions in patients with FAP. METHODS We performed a historical cohort study including patients with FAP who underwent an endoscopic duodenal intervention between 2002 and 2018. Safety was defined as adverse event rate per intervention and effectiveness as duodenal surgery-free and duodenal cancer-free survival. Change in Spigelman stage was assessed as a secondary outcome. RESULTS In 68 endoscopy sessions, 139 duodenal polypectomies were performed in 49 patients (20 men; median age, 43). Twenty-nine patients (14 men; median age, 49) underwent a papillectomy. After polypectomy, 9 (13%) bleedings and 1 (2%) perforation occurred, all managed endoscopically. Six (21%) bleedings (endoscopically managed), 4 (14%) cases of pancreatitis, and 1 (3%) perforation (conservatively treated) occurred after papillectomy. Duodenal surgery-free survival was 74% at 89 months after polypectomy and 71% at 71 months after papillectomy; no duodenal cancers were observed. After a median of 18 months (interquartile range, 10-40; range, 3-121) after polypectomy, Spigelman stages were significantly lower (P < .01). CONCLUSIONS In our FAP patients, prophylactic duodenal polypectomies were relatively safe. Papillectomies showed substantial adverse events, suggesting its benefits and risk should be carefully weighted. Both were effective, however, because surgical interventions were limited and none developed duodenal cancer.

Abstract
Backround and study aims Duodenal cancer is the cancer most often seen in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) who have undergone risk-reducing colonic surgery. Almost all patients with FAP eventually develop duodenal adenomas and risk for duodenal cancer is up to 12 % with poor prognosis. In addition, there is a rising concern regarding increased gastric cancer risk in patients with FAP. Our aim was to enhance polyp detection by using CE (CE) with the application of indigo carmine dye. Patient and methods We conducted a prospective, blinded study of patients with FAP undergoing endoscopic examination of the upper gastrointestinal tract. First, a standard white-light examination (WLE) was done followed by an examination performed by an endoscopist who was blinded to the previous examination, using chromoendoscopy (CE) (0.4 % indigo carmine dye). Results Fifty patients were included in the study. Using WLE, a median number of 13 adenomas (range 0-90) was detected compared to 23 adenomas/patient (range 0-150; P < 0.0001) detected after staining, leading to a higher Spigelman stage in 16 patients (32 %; P = 0.0003). CE detected significantly more larger adenomas (> 10 mm) than WLE (12 vs. 19; P = 0.0391). In the gastric antral region, a median number of 0 adenomas (range 0-6) before and 0.5 adenomas (range 0-7) after staining ( P = 0.0025) were detected. Conclusion This prospective endoscopic trial, to our knowledge the largest in patients with FAP, showed a significant impact of CE on adenoma detection and therapeutic management in the upper gastrointestinal tract. This leads to more intensive surveillance intervals.

Abstract
Duodenal cancer in familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) arises from adenomas. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the duodenal adenoma-carcinoma pathway have been identified in murine FAP models, but similar data in patients with FAP are limited. Identifying such changes may have significance in understanding duodenal polyposis therapies and identifying cancer biomarkers. We performed a genome-wide transcriptional analysis to describe the duodenal adenoma-carcinoma sequence and determine changes distinguishing patients with FAP with and without duodenal cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Duodenal cancer is the second most common cause of cancer death in familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) patients. In this study, we compare oncologic outcomes between sporadic and FAP-associated duodenal cancer. METHODS In this retrospective study, all patients who underwent surgeries between 2000 and 2014 for either sporadic or FAP duodenal cancer were identified. The patients were grouped based on diagnoses and perioperative and survival outcomes were compared. RESULTS A total of 56 patients with duodenal cancer (43 sporadic, 13 FAP) who underwent surgery were identified. Pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) was the most common procedure performed. The overall median survival was 7.5 years (1 year: 92%; 5 years: 58.1%). FAP patients had earlier tumor, node, and metastasis stage, less margin involvement, less perineural, and angiolymphatic invasion but had a comparable survival to sporadic patients. The median survival for FAP duodenal cancer was 7.4 vs 9.6 years for sporadic (P = .97) with similar utilization of adjuvant chemotherapy. Although not statistically significant, PD had an improved median survival compared to segmental duodenal resection (SDR) (9.6 years for PD vs 3.6 years for SDR, P = .17). Non-periampullary location and presence of positive lymph nodes were significant predictors of mortality on multivariate analysis. CONCLUSIONS FAP duodenal cancer has no survival advantage compared to sporadic duodenal cancer despite an improved stage of resection with extraampullary lesions having a worse survival.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The purpose of this review was to examine the historical roots of endoscopic management of ampullary lesions and explore emerging data on improved techniques, technologies, and outcomes. Of specific interest was answering whether there exists a reasonable body of data to support one resection technique or strategy above others. RECENT FINDINGS Review of recent literature suggests the continued use of endoscopic ampullectomy is a safe and effective means of curative treatment of ampullary adenomas. Complications are relatively infrequent and complete endoscopic resection is possible in a majority of cases, with proper patient and lesion selection. Greater than 2 decades of experience with endoscopic ampullectomy have shown this to be a viable, well-tolerated, and highly effective means of treating ampullary adenomas. While few concrete guidelines exist to advise endoscopists on the ideal technique for resection, experience, patient selection, and prior planning can greatly influence the technical and clinical success of endoscopic ampullectomy.

Abstract
Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) syndrome is a complex entity, which includes FAP, attenuated FAP, and MUTYH-associated polyposis. These patients are at significant risk for colorectal cancer and carry additional risks for extracolonic malignancies. In this guideline, we reviewed the most recent literature to formulate recommendations on the role of endoscopy in this patient population. Relevant clinical questions were how to identify high-risk individuals warranting genetic testing, when to start screening examinations, what are appropriate surveillance intervals, how to identify endoscopically high-risk features, and what is the role of chemoprevention. A systematic literature search from 2005 to 2018 was performed, in addition to the inclusion of seminal historical studies. Most studies were from worldwide registries, which have compiled years of data regarding the natural history and cancer risks in this cohort. Given that most studies were retrospective, recommendations were based on epidemiologic data and expert opinion. Management of colorectal polyps in FAP has not changed much in recent years, as colectomy in FAP is the standard of care. What is new, however, is the developing body of literature on the role of endoscopy in managing upper GI and small-bowel polyposis, as patients are living longer and improved endoscopic technologies have emerged.

Abstract
Background To evaluate the prevalence of upper gastrointestinal (GI) polyps in familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), and to discuss current therapeutic recommendations. Methods Clinical, endoscopic, histological and treatment data were retrieved from charts of 102 patients [1958-2016]. Duodenal adenomatosis was classified according to Spigelman stages. Results this series comprised 59 women (57.8%) and 43 men (42.1%) with a median age of 32.3 years. Patients underwent 184 endoscopic procedures, the first at a median age of 35.9 years (range, 13-75 years). Fundic gastric polyps (n=31; 30.4%) prevailed in the stomach. While only 5 adenomas were found in the stomach, 33 patients (32.4%) presented duodenal ones. Advanced lesions (n=13; 12.7%) were detected in the stomach (n=2) and duodenum (n=11). During follow-up, Spigelman stages improved in 6 (12.2%) patients, remained unchanged in 25 (51.0%) and worsened in 18 (36.7%). Carcinomas were diagnosed in the stomach and duodenum (4 lesions each, 3.9%), at median ages of 50.2 and 55.0 years, respectively. Advanced lesions and carcinomas were managed through local or surgical resections. Severe complications occurred in only 2 patients (one death). Enteroscopy in 21 patients revealed jejunal adenomas in 12, 11 of whom also presented duodenal adenomas. Conclusions There is a high prevalence of upper GI adenomas and cancer in FAP. There were diagnosed fundic gastric polyps (30.4%), duodenal (32.4%) and jejunal adenomas (11.8%), respectively. One third of duodenal polyps progressed slowly throughout the study. The rates of advanced gastroduodenal lesions (12.7%) and cancer (7.8%) raise the need for continuous surveillance during follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The greatest known risk factor for duodenal cancer in familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is Spigelman stage (SS) IV duodenal polyposis. Endoscopic surveillance is recommended in FAP patients with SS 0 to IV, and prophylactic duodenectomy should be considered in SS IV. Cancer occurs in patients without SS IV polyposis. We assessed the relationship of SS and other factors with duodenal cancer in FAP. METHODS We performed a case-control study on 18 FAP patients with duodenal cancer and 85 randomly selected FAP control subjects with similar age characteristics. Demographic, clinical, and endoscopic features were compared using univariate and logistic regression analyses to assess factors associated with duodenal cancer. RESULTS Fifty-three percent of cases had no SS IV history. SS components positively associated with cancer included duodenal polyp size (77% vs 47%, P = .015), and high-grade dysplasia (HGD; 29% vs 6%, P = .003) but not polyp number or histology. In the papilla, the frequency of tubulovillous or villous histology (80% vs 22%, P < .001) and HGD (30% vs 4%, P = .010) was greater in cases than control subjects. CONCLUSIONS SS IV polyposis was absent in half of FAP patients with duodenal cancer. Only 2 of 4 SS components (large duodenal polyp size and HGD) were positively associated with duodenal cancer. Advanced pathology of the papilla appears to be an important feature. Revision of SS to emphasize these findings should be considered to better estimate cancer risk.

Abstract
RATIONALE Synchronous double malignancies, including carcinoma of the ampulla of Vater and rectal carcinoma, are generally uncommon occurrences in the gastrointestinal tract. PATIENT CONCERNS The present study report a case of a 37-year-old man who was incidentally found to suffer from carcinoma of the ampulla of Vater and rectal carcinoma. DIAGNOSES The duodenoscopy was performed and revealed an ulcerated and bulky ampulla of Vater, the biopsy from which revealed a moderate-differentiated adenocarcinoma, A local hospital colonoscopy confirmed a tumor located in rectal 7 cm from the anal margin and biopsy-confirmed poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. INTERVENTIONS About such patient treatment, both open and laparoscopic surgery are restricted because of operation complexity, large injury, and poor cosmetic effect. surgery performed using Da Vinci robotic surgical system (DVSS). OUTCOMES No evidence of recurrence or relapses was found in the first year after surgery. LESSONS Although sporadic double malignancies are uncommon, they should be considered when evaluating cancer patients. Complex surgery performed by robotic surgery may became surgeon's preferred treatment modality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is a hereditary syndrome that can affect the entire GI tract. Current screening recommendations include EGD starting at age 25 to 30 years or earlier in symptomatic patients. However, few reports describe upper GI tract involvement in children with FAP that support the notion of early screening. The aim of our study is to understand the prevalence and severity of upper GI involvement in children with FAP. METHODS We performed a retrospective review of the Mayo Clinic records, between 1992 and 2016, to identify children with the diagnosis of FAP who underwent EGD examinations. A systematic review of the literature was performed to include published studies reporting children with FAP and upper GI findings. RESULTS The retrospective study included 69 children with a mean age of 13.5 years (range, 3-18). Thirty-six children (52%) had duodenal adenoma with low-grade dysplasia. Five children required an ampullectomy secondary to enlarged and polypoid ampullas. Combined with published studies, a total of 206 children with upper GI findings were identified, of which 87 (42%) had duodenal adenoma (1 had high-grade dysplasia). Meta-analysis of 5 series demonstrated duodenal adenoma detection rate of 39% (95% confidence interval, 21%-57%; I2 = 85%). CONCLUSIONS The available data to date show that children with FAP can have clinically relevant lesions in the upper GI tract earlier than previously foreseen, suggesting that earlier screening may be indicated. Larger multicenter prospective studies are needed to determine the best approach and optimal age for EGD screening in children with FAP.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Prophylactic colon surgery has increased life expectancy of familial adenomatous polyposis patients. Extracolonic manifestations are life limiting, above all duodenal adenomas. Severe duodenal adenomatosis or cancer may necessitate pancreas-preserving total duodenectomy or partial pancreatico-duodenectomy, mostly after previous proctocolectomy and often after limited local resections of duodenal adenomas. Scarce information on long-term postoperative outcome and quality of life after surgery for duodenal adenomatosis is available. Aim of the present study was to analyze perioperative and long-term outcome after PD and PPTD for FAP-associated duodenal adenomatosis, including QoL and recurrence of adenomas in the neoduodenum after PPTD. MATERIAL, METHODS AND PATIENTS Thirty-eight patients, 27 after pancreas-preserving duodenectomy and 11 after partial pancreaticoduodenectomy, were included. RESULTS Pancreas-preserving total duodenectomy was associated with shorter operation time and less blood loss than partial pancreatico-duodenectomy. Clinically relevant pancreatic fistula occurred in 31.5%. In-hospital mortality was 5.3%. Long-term follow-up revealed recurrent pancreatitis after pancreas-preserving total duodenectomy in 22% of patients, two (7.4%) required re-operation. Recurrent adenomatosis was detected in 26% of patients. Quality of life was comparable to the German normal population after both surgical procedures. Patients with postoperative complications showed worse results than those without complications. Disease-specific 10-year survival rate with respect to duodenal adenomatosis was 100%. CONCLUSION Surgery for FAP-associated duodenal adenomatosis and cancer can be carried out with reasonable morbidity rates despite previous proctocolectomy. Long-term outcome, quality of life, and survival rates are favorable.

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
BACKGROUND Screening of patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) have led to a substantial reduction in mortality due to colorectal cancer (CRC). Recent guidelines suggest that surveillance of non-intestinal malignancies should also be considered in those patients. However, the value of these surveillance programmes is unknown. The aims of this study were (1) to assess the occurrence of extracolonic malignancies in a large series of adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) mutation carriers and (2) to evaluate the causes of death. METHODS All APC mutation carriers were selected from the Dutch polyposis registry. Data on causes of death were collected. Pathology reports were retrieved from the Dutch Pathology Registry. RESULTS A total of 85 extracolonic malignancies were diagnosed in 74 of 582 APC mutation carriers. Duodenal and skin cancers were the most prevalent cancers. Thyroid cancer was observed in only 1.5% of the cases. The main cause of death was cancer (59% of all deaths), with 42% due to CRC and 21% due to duodenal cancer. One patient died from thyroid cancer. The second and third most common causes of death were cardiovascular disease (13% of all deaths) and desmoid tumours (11% of all deaths), respectively. CONCLUSION Extending surveillance programmes to other cancers will not contribute significantly to the survival of patients with FAP.

Abstract
AIM To test the fujinon intelligent color enhancement (FICE) in identifying dysplastic or adenomatous polyps in familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) patients.
METHODS Seventy-six consecutive FAP patients, already treated by colectomy and members of sixty-five families, were enrolled. A FICE system for the upper gastro-intestinal tract with an electronic endoscope system and a standard duodenoscope (for side-viewing examination) were used by two expert examiners. Endoscopic resection was performed with diathermic loop for polyps ≥ 6 mm and with forceps for polyps < 6 mm. Formalin-fixed biopsy specimens were analyzed by two expert gastrointestinal pathologists blinded to size, location and number of FAP-associated fundic gland polyps.
RESULTS Sixty-nine (90.8%) patients had gastric polyps (34 only in the corpus-fundus, 7 only in the antrum and 28 in the whole stomach) and 52 (68.4%) in duodenum (7 in the bulb, 35 in second/third duodenal portion, 10 both in the bulb and the second portion of duodenum). In the stomach fundus after FICE evaluation, 10 more polyps were removed from 10 patients for suspicious features of dysplasia or adenomas, but they were classified as cystic fundic gland after histology. In the antrum FICE identified more polyps than traditional endoscopy, showing a better tendency to identify adenomas and displastic areas. In the duodenum FICE added a significant advantage in identifying adenomas in the bulb and identified more polyps in the II/III portion.
CONCLUSION FICE significantly increases adenoma detection rate in FAP patients but does not change any Spigelman stage and thus does not modify patient’s prognosis and treatment strategies.

Abstract
With the increasing role of endoscopy in patient evaluation, more mucosal lesions, including gastric, duodenal and colonic polyps, are encountered during routine examinations. It is imperative for gastroenterologists to become familiar with the endoscopic management of these various gastrointestinal lesions. In this article, various resection techniques will be discussed, including hot/cold forceps polypectomy, hot/cold snare polypectomy, endoscopic mucosal resection, and endoscopic submucosal dissection. The article will also discuss the evidence regarding the efficacy and safety of these techniques and the future direction of endoscopic management of mucosal lesions in the gastrointestinal tract.

Abstract
BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations are responsible for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer, but they also confer an increased risk for the development of rarer cancers associated with this syndrome, namely, cancer of the pancreas, male breast, peritoneum, and fallopian tube. The objective of this work was to quantify the contribution of the founder mutations BRCA2 c.156_157insAlu and BRCA1 c.3331_3334del for cancer etiology in unselected hospital-based cohorts of Portuguese patients diagnosed with these rarer cancers, by using a strategy that included testing of archival tumor tissue. A total of 102 male breast, 68 pancreatic and 33 peritoneal/fallopian tube carcinoma cases were included in the study. The BRCA2 c.156_157insAlu mutation was observed with a frequency of 7.8% in male breast cancers, 3.0% in peritoneal/fallopian tube cancers, and 1.6% in pancreatic cancers, with estimated total contributions of germline BRCA2 mutations of 14.3%, 5.5%, and 2.8%, respectively. No carriers of the BRCA1 c.3331_3334del mutation were identified. During our study, a patient with an ampulla of Vater carcinoma was incidentally found to carry the BRCA2 c.156_157insAlu mutation, so we decided to test a consecutive series of additional 15 ampullary carcinomas for BRCA1/BRCA2 mutations using a combination of direct founder mutation testing and full gene analysis with next generation sequencing. BRCA2 mutations were observed with a frequency of 14.3% in ampulla of Vater carcinomas. In conclusion, taking into account the implications for both the individuals and their family members, we recommend that patients with these neoplasias should be offered BRCA1/BRCA2 genetic testing and we here show that it is feasible to test for founder mutations in archival tumor tissue. Furthermore, we identified for the first time a high frequency of germline BRCA2 mutations in ampullary cancers.

Can supplementation of phytoestrogens/insoluble fibers help the management of duodenal polyps in familial adenomatous polyposis? Carcinogenesis 2016; 37:600-6. [PMID: 27207660 DOI: 10.1093/carcin/bgw041] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2015] [Accepted: 03/29/2016] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder, and prophylactic colectomy has been shown to decrease the incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC). Duodenal cancer and desmoids are now the leading causes of death in FAP. We evaluate whether 3 months of oral supplementation with a patented blend of phytoestrogens and indigestible insoluble fibers (ADI) help the management of FAP patients with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA). In a prospective open label study, we enrolled 15 FAP patients with IPAA and duodenal polyps who underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy at baseline and after 3 months of treatment. The primary endpoint was the change in gene expression in polyp mucosa, whereas the secondary endpoint was the reduction in polyp number and size. After 3 months of ADI treatment, all patients showed a reduction in the number and size of duodenal polyps (P = 0.021). Analysis of the expression of CRC promoting/inhibiting genes in duodenal polyps biopsies demonstrated that different CRC-promoting genes (PCNA, MUC1 and COX-2) were significantly downregulated, whereas CRC-inhibiting genes (ER-β and MUC2) were significantly upregulated after ADI treatment. In conclusion, ADI proved to be safe and effective, and its long-term effects on FAP patients need further investigation. Judging from the results we observed on COX-2 and miR-101 expression, the short-term effects of ADI treatment could be comparable with those obtained using COX-2 inhibitors, with the advantage of being much more tolerable in chronic therapies and void of adverse events.

Abstract
PURPOSE Innovations in genetic medicine have led to improvements in the early detection, prevention, and treatment of cancer for patients with inherited risks of gastrointestinal cancer, particularly hereditary colorectal cancer and hereditary pancreatic cancer. METHODS This review provides an update on recent data and key advances that have improved the identification, understanding, and management of patients with hereditary colorectal cancer and hereditary pancreatic cancer. FINDINGS This review details recent and emerging data that highlight the developing landscape of genetics in hereditary colorectal and pancreatic cancer risk. A summary is provided of the current state-of-the-art practices for identifying, evaluating, and managing patients with suspected hereditary colorectal cancer and pancreatic cancer risk. The impact of next-generation sequencing technologies in the clinical diagnosis of hereditary gastrointestinal cancer and also in discovery efforts of new genes linked to familial cancer risk are discussed. Emerging targeted therapies that may play a particularly important role in the treatment of patients with hereditary forms of colorectal cancer and pancreatic cancer are also reviewed. Current approaches for pancreatic cancer screening and the psychosocial impact of such procedures are also detailed. IMPLICATIONS Given the availability of new diagnostic, risk-reducing, and therapeutic strategies that exist for patients with hereditary risk of colorectal or pancreatic cancer, it is imperative that clinicians be vigilant about evaluating patients for hereditary cancer syndromes. Continuing to advance genetics research in hereditary gastrointestinal cancers will allow for more progress to be made in personalized medicine and prevention.

Abstract
Primary adenocarcinoma of the small intestine occurs in over 50% of cases in the duodenum. However, its location in the third and fourth duodenal portions occurs rarely and is a diagnostic challenge. The aim of this work is to report an adenocarcinoma of the third and fourth duodenal portions, emphasizing its diagnostic difficulty and the value of video capsule endoscopy. A man, 40 years old, with no medical history, with abdominal discomfort and progressive fatigue, presented four months ago with one episode of moderate melena. The physical examination was normal, except for mucosal pallor. Blood tests were consistent with microcytic, hypochromic iron deficiency anemia with 7.8 g/dL hemoglobin. The upper and lower endoscopy were normal. Additional work-up with video capsule endoscopy showed a polypoid lesion involving the third and fourth portions of the duodenum. Biopsy showed a moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma. Abdominal computed tomography showed a wall thickening from the third duodenal portion to the proximal jejunum, without distant metastasis. The patient underwent segmental resection (distal duodenum and proximal jejunum) with duodenojejunostomy. The surgical specimen histology confirmed the biopsy diagnosis, with transmural infiltration, without nodal involvement. Conclusion: Adenocarcinoma of the third and fourth portions of the duodenum is difficult to diagnose and capsule endoscopy is of great value.

Abstract
The hereditary colorectal cancer syndromes comprise a heterogeneous group of conditions with varying cancer risks, gastrointestinal polyp types, nonmalignant findings, and inheritance patterns. Although each one is unique in its own right, these syndromes often have overlapping features, making diagnoses difficult in select cases. Obtaining accurate polyp history (histologic type, number, location, and age of onset), cancer history (location, type, and age of onset), and other nonmalignant features is imperative in determining the likely disease diagnosis and thereby the appropriate genetic tests for precise diagnosis in a timely fashion. This process often necessitates collaboration among surgical oncology team members and genetic counselors.

Abstract
Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is a genetic disorder in which multiple colorectal polyps and cancers develop. However, the prevalence of small intestinal tumors in patients with FAP remains unclear. We elucidated the prevalence of polyps in the small intestine and duodenum using capsule endoscopy (CE). Patients with FAP receiving a periodic screening colonoscopy at Kyoundo Hospital were encouraged to participate in the study. All study participants underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) within 2 weeks before CE. Outcome measurements were the prevalence of duodenal polyps (DP) and small intestinal polyp (SIP), detectability of the ampulla of Vater, and concordance of the duodenal findings between CE and EGD. Twenty-three patients (mean age, 47 years; 15 males) were enrolled in the study. CE showed DPs in 11 patients (52%) and SIPs in nine patients (43 %). The mean numbers of DPs and SIPs was 11.5 ± 6.2 and 11.9 ± 10.9, respectively. SIPs were more often detected in patients with DPs versus those without (62 vs. 13%, P = 0.07). The ampulla of Vater was observed by CE in four patients (21%). EGD showed DPs in 13 patients (62%). EGD missed DPs in two of 11 patients with DPs detected by CE. EGD found DPs in four of 10 patients without DPs using CE. The kappa index was 0.422. Patients with FAP have a high prevalence of polyps in the small intestine. Although the clinical significance of small intestinal polyps remains unclear, patients with FAP seem to be good candidates for CE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) are prone to developing duodenal adenoma and cancer. Optimal surveillance and management of these adenomas are not well established. OBJECTIVE We assessed the outcome of FAP patients undergoing intense multimodal surveillance and subsequent endoscopic resection of advanced lesions. PATIENTS Eighty consecutive FAP patients enrolled during 2001 to 2011 from the Familial Cancer Clinic of a tertiary hospital as part of routine surveillance. DESIGN Case series, prospective in years 2006 to 2011 and retrospective in years 2001 to 2006. SETTING AND INTERVENTION Patients were followed by annual forward-view and/or side-view upper endoscopy. A biopsy sample was obtained from visible lesions and normal papillae. Ampullary adenomas were further assessed by EUS to determine dimensions and resectability. Advanced adenomas (size ≥ 10 mm, villous type, high-grade dysplasia) underwent endoscopic ampullectomy or polypectomy and continued surveillance. MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS Detection of advanced adenomas by endoscopy and EUS, endoscopic maintenance of duodenum free of advanced adenoma and cancer. RESULTS Patients (38 men and 42 women, mean age 32.68 ± 13.60) were followed 7.2 years and underwent 5.36 diagnostic studies on average. Thirty-eight patients had ampullary adenomas. Advanced adenoma was diagnosed by endoscopy in 10 patients. Importantly, EUS upstaged 9 additional patients to advanced adenoma and downstaged 1, thus altering the treatment course in 36% of patients performing EUS. Endoscopic ampullectomy was performed in 15 patients. Adenoma recurred in 10. Five remained nonadvanced and 5 in advanced stages: 3 were successfully retreated endoscopically and 2 ultimately required surgery for residual adenoma. Advanced nonampullary adenomas were successfully resected endoscopically in 23 patients. No patient had duodenal cancer during the study period. LIMITATIONS Limited follow-up period, young age group, uncontrolled study. CONCLUSIONS In an intense surveillance program for FAP patients, both endoscopy and EUS were key in accurate selection of advanced adenomas for endoscopic resection. During a 10-year period, only 2 patients required elective surgery and no cancer was observed.

Abstract
This guideline presents recommendations for the management of patients with hereditary gastrointestinal cancer syndromes. The initial assessment is the collection of a family history of cancers and premalignant gastrointestinal conditions and should provide enough information to develop a preliminary determination of the risk of a familial predisposition to cancer. Age at diagnosis and lineage (maternal and/or paternal) should be documented for all diagnoses, especially in first- and second-degree relatives. When indicated, genetic testing for a germline mutation should be done on the most informative candidate(s) identified through the family history evaluation and/or tumor analysis to confirm a diagnosis and allow for predictive testing of at-risk relatives. Genetic testing should be conducted in the context of pre- and post-test genetic counseling to ensure the patient's informed decision making. Patients who meet clinical criteria for a syndrome as well as those with identified pathogenic germline mutations should receive appropriate surveillance measures in order to minimize their overall risk of developing syndrome-specific cancers. This guideline specifically discusses genetic testing and management of Lynch syndrome, familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), attenuated familial adenomatous polyposis (AFAP), MUTYH-associated polyposis (MAP), Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, juvenile polyposis syndrome, Cowden syndrome, serrated (hyperplastic) polyposis syndrome, hereditary pancreatic cancer, and hereditary gastric cancer.

Abstract
Small bowel tumors (SBTs) are uncommon, insidious in presentation, and frequently represent a diagnostic challenge. The advent of video capsule endoscopy (VCE) and double-balloon endoscopy (DBE) is a significant breakthrough for visual diagnosis of SBTs throughout the small bowel. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) and fluoroscopic enteroclysis had significantly lower diagnostic yields of tumors that were 10 mm or smaller in diameter, but VCE and DBE had high diagnostic yields regardless of tumor size. Regarding SBTs larger than 10 mm in diameter, CECT had a significantly lower diagnostic yield of epithelial tumors compared to subepithelial tumors, whereas fluoroscopic enteroclysis and DBE had high diagnostic yields regardless of the tumor type. VCE had a slightly lower diagnostic yield of subepithelial tumors (78%) compared to epithelial tumors. Therefore, a combined examination method by using CECT and VCE is useful for screening of SBTs. In case suspicious of stenosis, patency capsule should be performed to confirm passage before VCE. DBE is useful for further precise examination including biopsy and ultrasonography by using miniature probe, and enteroscopic treatment. After medical, enteroscopic, and surgical treatment, VCE is helpful for follow-up. DBE is safe and useful in resecting the SBTs deep within the small bowel without laparotomy. Indications of enteroscopic resection may be benign tumors regardless of epithelial or subepithelial type, localizing in the mucosal or submucosal layer, which are symptomatic at present or possibly symptomatic or transforming in the future. Malignant tumors localized in the mucosal layer may be indications although detecting at an early stage is challenging. In this review article, we describe management of SBTs/polyps by various modalities.
