What are the Treatment Options for Familial Adenomatous Polyposis?
Treatment for FAP often involves a combination of surveillance and surgical interventions. Regular colonoscopy and polypectomy are performed to monitor and remove polyps. In more advanced cases, a prophylactic colectomy (surgical removal of the colon) may be recommended to prevent cancer. Additionally, medications like nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may help reduce polyp formation.
