Familial adenomatous polyposis is an autosomal dominant polyposis syndrome characterized by mutations in the adenomatous polyposis coli gene. Patients with familial adenomatous polyposis develop hundreds to thousands of polyps throughout the colon and rectum, significantly elevating their lifetime risk of colorectal cancer if left untreated. Moreover, individuals with this condition commonly develop gastric and duodenal polyps, heightening their susceptibility to gastric and duodenal cancers, desmoid fibromatosis, hepatoblastoma, and thyroid cancer. Colectomy is a primary intervention offering substantial risk reduction for colorectal cancer development, emphasizing the importance of timely screening for associated cancers to enable early detection and intervention.This activity provides healthcare professionals with the knowledge and skills necessary to identify the signs and symptoms of familial adenomatous polyposis, implement appropriate screening techniques, evaluate management options, and establish surveillance protocols for individuals with this condition. By highlighting the pivotal role of the interprofessional care team, this activity underscores the collaborative approach required to effectively care for patients with this complex condition. Participants gain insights into the comprehensive management of familial adenomatous polyposis, ensuring optimal patient outcomes through coordinated and multidisciplinary care delivery.
