572-573

Duodenal cancer is the main cause of death for patients with FAP syndrome (familial adenomatous polyposis) treated with a colectomy. The disease follows the adenoma to carcinoma sequence and is diagnosed during follow-up in 7-36% of patients. Endoscopic treatment is used during the first treatment stage of the disease and surgery is an adequate therapeutic option when endoscopic control is insufficient.
