Gastrointestinal Polyposis Syndromes

Gastrointestinal polyposis syndromes, including familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, present significant risks for malignancy and require careful surveillance and management. This session focuses on the genetic, molecular, and clinical aspects of these syndromes, highlighting early detection, risk stratification, and therapeutic interventions. Participants will learn about endoscopic monitoring, surgical management, chemoprevention strategies, and emerging targeted therapies. The track also emphasizes the importance of genetic counseling, family screening, and patient education in reducing disease burden and improving outcomes.

Additionally, this session will explore translational research on novel biomarkers, molecular pathways, and gene-targeted interventions. Case studies and clinical experiences will illustrate challenges in early detection, polyp management, and cancer prevention. Attendees will gain insights into personalized approaches that integrate genetics, endoscopic surveillance, and surgical strategies, making this track an ideal platform for researchers, clinicians, and geneticists to present findings and share expertise.
