Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are patients with a confirmed diagnosis of Familial Adenomatous Polyposis who are already undergoing endoscopic surveillance.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with known strictures or stenosis, those who are pregnant, or those who do not consent to participate may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to gather prospective data on patients diagnosed with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP) who are undergoing cold snare polypectomy for duodenal adenomas. FAP is a genetic condition that leads to the development of numerous colorectal polyps and increases the risk of colorectal cancer. The study will focus on the effectiveness of cold snare polypectomy as a management strategy for duodenal adenomas, which are common in FAP patients. Data collected will help inform future treatment approaches and surveillance strategies for this high-risk population.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve the management of duodenal adenomas in patients with FAP, potentially reducing the risk of cancer development.
How similar studies have gone: While there have been studies on endoscopic management of duodenal adenomas, the specific approach of cold snare polypectomy in this context is less commonly explored, making this study somewhat novel.
