Abstract
The moderator and participants in this symposium are some of the members of the Leeds Castle Polyposis Group, set up in 1985 to promote cooperative investigation and prospective research in this field. Initial studies have summated data on the group’s screening and surgical practices and their experiences with desmoid disease and upper gastrointestinal neoplasia. The group plans to publish these joint studies in the future; in the meantime we congratulate the participants and moderator in our Symposium for this unique contribution to the literature on this difficult subject.
