Familial adenomatous polyposis Care at Mayo Clinic
Familial adenomatous polyposis care at Mayo Clinic
Specialists in inherited colorectal cancer conditions
Mayo Clinic clinicians are experienced in treating people and families with hereditary colorectal cancer conditions, including familial adenomatous polyposis, Lynch syndrome and MUTYH-associated polyposis (MAP).
Because these conditions affect multiple parts of the body and often require lifelong monitoring, care is coordinated across several specialties. Specialists work together to create personalized care plans that address colon health, screening for cancers outside the colon, and management of related conditions such as desmoid tumors, bone growths and dental findings.
Mayo Clinic patients have access to advanced screening tools, experienced colorectal and minimally invasive surgeons, and ongoing follow-up care after surgery. Mayo Clinic's integrated approach allows testing, imaging and specialist visits to be coordinated efficiently, helping you receive consistent care over time.
Genetic evaluation and personalized care planning
