Abstract

The optimal approach has yet to emerge for the management of sporadic periampullary adenomas and upper gastrointestinal (GI) neoplasia complicating familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). There are no randomized trials comparing different surgical and/or endoscopic modalities. Such studies may not be feasible given the infrequency of these conditions and the long follow-up period required for such a study. In the meantime, selection of the optimal approach for an individual patient will rely on a careful evaluation of the disease severity and extent in that patient and the utilization of the best available endoscopic and surgical expertise.
