What are the Treatment Options for FAP in Children?
The primary treatment for FAP is surgical. Prophylactic colectomy (removal of the colon) is often recommended to prevent colorectal cancer. Depending on the severity and location of the polyps, different surgical options may be considered, including total proctocolectomy or ileorectal anastomosis. Pharmacological treatments, such as NSAIDs, may help reduce the number and size of polyps but are not a substitute for surgery.
