Abstract

Background: Although upper gastrointestinal (GI) neoplasms are not rare in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), few studies have focused on them and the long-term outcomes of their treatment by endoscopy. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the prevalence and endoscopic treatment outcomes of upper GI neoplasms in patients with FAP. Methods: Among 215 patients diagnosed with FAP between January 1991 and December 2019, 208 who underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy were eligible. The clinical features and endoscopic treatment outcomes of upper GI neoplasms were retrospectively investigated and analyzed. Results: Among the enrolled patients, 113 (54.3%) had one or more upper GI neoplasms: gastric adenoma (n = 34), gastric cancer (n = 7), nonampullary duodenal adenoma (n = 86), and ampullary adenoma (n = 53). Among patients with gastric neoplasms (n = 37), 24 (64.9%) underwent treatment (endoscopic treatment: 22, surgery: 2). No tumor-related mortality occurred during median follow-up of 106 months (interquartile range [IQR] 63–174). Endoscopic treatment was performed in 47 (54.7%) of 86 patients with nonampullary duodenal adenoma and in 32 (60.4%) of 53 patients with ampullary adenoma. No patient underwent surgery for duodenal neoplasms, and no tumor-related mortality occurred during median follow-up of 88 months (IQR 42–145). The proportion of patients with increased Spigelman stage at 2 years after the initial diagnosis or treatment was significantly higher in untreated group than in the group treated for duodenal neoplasms (27.3% vs. 0.0%, p = 0.001). Conclusion: Endoscopic surveillance in FAP patients is important for the detection and treatment of upper GI neoplasms in early stage. In particular, endoscopic therapy for duodenal neoplasms can reduce the severity of duodenal polyposis.
