Familial Adenomatous Polyposis: Treatment at Mayo Clinic
source: Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research
year: 2015
authors: Mayo Clinic Staff
summary/abstract:If you have a few small polyps, your Mayo Clinic doctor can remove them during your colonoscopy exam. Eventually, though, polyps may become too numerous to remove individually. To prevent cancer, Mayo specialists recommend surgery for familial adenomatous polyposis, usually by your late teens or early 20s. Surgery may not be required for attenuated FAP.
