Prevalence of Gastric and Duodenal Polyps and Risk Factors for Duodenal Neoplasm in Korean Patients with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis

Abstract

In Korean FAP patients, gastric cancer was detected more frequently, but fundic gland polyps, duodenal adenoma and duodenal cancer were detected less frequently than in Western patients. FAP patients with gastric polyps should undergo regular EGD, particularly for the early detection of duodenal neoplasia.
