About this trial
The current internationally accepted treatment method for familial adenomatous polyposis is prophylactic total colorectal resection combined with endoscopic follow-up. However, total colorectal resection will bring a sharp decline in the quality of life of patients. Therefore, how to improve treatment methods and improve the quality of life for such patients under the premise of medical quality is the current medical focus. This study intends to establish three parallel observation cohorts, namely the surgical treatment group, the intensive colonoscopy treatment group, and the autonomous monitoring group. During the three-year study period, the investigators observed changes in the number of adenomas, carcinogenesis, and medical expenses in each group during the 3-year study period, and compared the groups to determine whether the intensive colonoscopy therapy has the possibility of delaying or replacing preventive surgery.
