Sammanfattning

Prophylactic colectomy has reduced the incidence of colorectal cancer substantially in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), and nowadays duodenal cancer is the leading cancer-related cause of death in this patient group. The majority of patients develop adenomas in the duodenum, and the adenoma-carcinoma sequence seems to be valid in the duodenum too. The incidence of duodenal carcinoma is 100-300 times higher than in the background population. This review presents the occurrence, diagnosis, treatment and surveillance of duodenal adenomas in FAP.
