    Author: Ocaña Jiménez J, López Buenadicha A, Nuño Vázquez-Garza J.
    Journal: Rev Esp Enferm Dig; 2019 Jul; 111(7):572-573. PubMed ID: 31257898.
    Abstract:
    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.
