The 2019 season of the CGA-IGC podcast series, Expert Approach to Hereditary Gastrointestinal Cancers, will focus on the management of extra-colonic features of Familial Adenomatous Polyposis, or FAP. FAP is an inherited condition that is primarily characterized by the development of many colon polyps and an increased risk for colon cancer, but there are other aspects of FAP that are also important to be aware of and manage appropriately.
The third episode features Dr. Jewel Samadder, gastroenterologist and advanced endoscopist at the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix, Arizona. Dr. Samadder has a specific focus on hereditary cancer conditions, with distinct expertise in familial adenomatous polyposis. In this episode, Dr. Samadder discusses the necessary screening, endoscopic and surgical approaches, and chemoprevention options for duodenal neoplasia in FAP.
