| Genetic testing is now available to detect polyposis as well as hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer syndrome. |
|
| Patients with inflammatory bowel disease, familial polyposis, acute abdominal symptoms, or pregnancy were excluded. |
|
| There were also esophageal glycogenic acanthosis and hyperplastic polyposis in the antrum accompanied by Helicobacter pylori-related gastritis. |
|
| The upper respiratory tract should be examined for evidence of otitis media, rhinorrhea, nasal polyposis, and pharyngitis. |
|
| In colon cancer, familial adenomatous polyposis is very strongly associated with the FAP gene, but it is a rare defect. |
|
| The clinical, radiographic, and endoscopic presentation of the polyposis, together with the presence of multiple small bowel stenotic lesions, simulated Crohn disease. |
|
| For instance, the presymptomatic diagnosis of the mutation causing familial adenomatous polyposis allows the possibility of preventive follow-up and treatment. |
|
| Diseases including multiple polyposis of the colon and long-standing severe ulcerative colitis are associated with a high risk for colon cancer, and they can be treated by partial or complete removal of the colon. |
|
| Generalized juvenile polyposis with pulmonary arterio venous malformations and hypertrophic osteoarthropathy. |
|
| Then he looked in on a twenty-five-year-old man with familial adenomatous polyposis, a disorder that begins in adolescence and is characterized by the growth of tumors in the large intestine. |
|
| Cell Pathways, based in Horsham, Pa., was seeking approval to sell the drug, Aptosyn, to treat familial adenomatous polyposis, or FAP, the hereditary disease that Mr. Nichols had. |
|
| Ms. Brown received a diagnosis of familial adenomatous polyposis, a genetic condition that causes thousands of tiny polyps to develop on the wall of the colon. |
|
| For example, a predictive test performed without delay and producing a negative result might spare the subject highly invasive regular examinations as in the case of adenomatous polyposis. |
|
| In eleven of hundreds of families tested, he discovered disease patterns on polyps that don't fit with the known inherited conditions: familiar adenomatous polyposis and hereditary non-polyposis colon cancer. |
|
| In 11 of hundreds of families tested, he discovered disease patterns on polyps that do not fit with the known inherited conditions: familial adenomatous polyposis and hereditary non-polyposis colon cancer. |
|
| Summary: Nasal polyposis often complicates the progress of patients with cystic fibrosis and there has been little study about the importance of cytokines in the polyps of such individuals. |
|
| Summary: Nasal polyposis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the sinus mucosa responsible for, among other symptoms, alteration of the sense of smell in a considerable percentage of patients. |
|
| Summary: Objective: Evaluate the long term quality of life in patients after ethmoidectomy associated with intranasal corticotherapy for nasal polyposis on the appreciation of the intensity of nasal symptoms. |
|
| Also at Phase 3 are cyclo-oxygenase 2 inhibitors, which were discovered to reduce the size and number of bowel polyps in an inherited disease called familial adenomatous polyposis. |
|
| Hereditary cancer syndromes include hereditary retinoblastoma, familial adenomatous polyposis of the colon, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndromes, neurofibromatosis types 1 and 2, and von Hippel-Lindau disease. |
|
|
|
| Risk factors include familial adenomatous polyposis, chronic atrophic gastritis, pernicious anemia, history of partial gastrectomy, and Menetrier disease. |
