Abstract

Familial polyposis is a systemic defect of growth regulation. Extracolonic expressions are common and serious, about equal in risk to carcinoma of the large intestine. Periodic surveillance of the upper gastrointestinal tract is particularly important. More intensive surveillance of the large intestine may lead to better results in patients with polyposis who have carcinoma of the large intestine develop.
