Guidelines on Management of Hereditary Polyposis Syndromes in Pediatric Patients: Agreement, Disagreement and Where It Matters

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Hereditary polyposis syndromes are rare but potentially devastating conditions which require multidisciplinary care from an early age. Societal guidelines serve as the framework for disease diagnosis, surveillance and treatment. Guidelines are based on expert opinion and ideally are evidence-based; however, recommendations may vary among different societies and can result in discordant care. This paper aims to summarize key differences in management based on societal guidelines for pediatric polyposis syndromes and identify some of the factors which may contribute to divergence in care.
