DISCUSSION
Introduction Genetics of FAP Pathogenesis of ca colon in FAP Indications of surgery Postop surveillance Chemoprevention Genetic testing Family screening Conclusion DISCUSSION
Incidence: 1 in 10000 live births M:F=1:1 Classic FAP is c haracterised by Multiple colonic adenomatous polyps (>100) Early age of onset Inevitable development of colon cancer unless the colon is removed Familial Adenomatous Polyposis(FAP)
Inheritance: Autosomal dominant Penetrance: 100 % Family h/o FAP: upto 70% De novo mutation: upto 30% Genotype: APC gene, TSG, 5q21 Mutation: Truncated germline mutation Genetics

Once FAP has been diagnosed, the aim is to perform prophylactic surgery Timing of surgery: late teens to early twenties Indications of early surgery Documented or suspected cancer Significant symptoms Polyps >10 mm diameter Polyps with high grade dysplasia Marked increase in polyp number on consecutive examinations Management of large bowel Syngal S et al.

Surgical options available Total proctocolectomy with permanent end ileostomy Total proctocolectomy with continent ileostomy ( Kock ) Total colectomy with IRA Pros-Superior functional results Cons-Leaves the rectum intact Total proctocolectomy with IPAA ± covering loop ileostomy Choice of operation
Includes: Annual endoscopy of rectum or ileal pouch Examination of an ileostomy every 2 years Postsurgical surveillance
The goal is to reduce the appearance of new polyps and possibly induce regression of existing ones. However they don’t prevent cancer. These are: NSAID: Sulindac Selective COX-2 inhibitor: Celecoxib O mega-3 PUFA: Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) West N et al: Eicosapentaenoic acid reduces rectal polyp number and size in familial adenomatous polyposis.

Genetic counselling Integral part of genetic testing Genetic testing APC gene mutation can be found in 80-90% of FAP families with present technology Laboratory method available Protein truncation testing Gene sequencing Linkage testing Genetic Testing
S.No Family Setting Approximate lifetime risk of colon cancer 1. General population risk in the US 6% 2. One first-degree relative with colon cancer 2-3 fold increased 3. Two first-degree relatives with colon cancer 3-4 fold increased 4. First-degree relative with colon cancer diagnosed at ≤50 years 3-4 fold increased 5. One second- or third-degree relative with colon cancer About 1.5 fold increased 6. Two second-degree relatives with colon cancer About 2-3 fold increased 7.

Colonoscopy annually starting at the age of 10-12 yrs , continuing until age of 35 if negative Flexible proctosigmoidoscopy at age 12-14 yrs ; repeat every 1-2 yr until age 35 and thereafter every 3 yr Upper GIE every 1-3 yr starting when polyps first identified Family screening Syngal S et al.

Conclusion Hereditary component to be evaluated and ruled out in young patients with CRC Family members- counselling Correct and effective screening- reduces mortality and morbidity due to syndromic malignancy
