काउडेन सिंड्रोम में गैस्ट्रोइंटेस्टाइनल पॉलीप्स का उपचार

References

• As the risk of developing colorectal cancer is higher in patients with this syndrome than in the general population, resection of colorectal polyps, which are considered precancerous lesions, is weakly recommended.
• Although there is no existing evidence to confirm whether polypectomy is indicated for this disease, adenomatous polyps that are 6 mm or larger in size should be removed as in sporadic adenomatous polyps.
• Hamartomatous polyps 10 mm or larger in size should be removed according to the treatment strategy for hamartomatous polyps in other gastrointestinal polyposis syndromes.
• However, cases of bleeding from gastric and colonic polyps and intestinal obstruction in the small and large intestines have been reported; therefore, polyps that cause bleeding or intestinal obstruction should be endoscopically resected.
