Abstract

An expert consensus panel convened by the Italian Association for Inherited and Familial Gastrointestinal Tumors (Associazione Italiana per lo Studio della Familiarità ed Ereditarietà dei Tumori Gastrointestinali, AIFEG) reviewed the literature and agreed on a number of position statements regarding the definition and management of polyposis coli without an identified pathogenic mutation on the APC or MUTYH genes, defined in the document as NAMP (non-APC/MUTYH polyposis).

Keywords: Cancer Genetics; Colorectal cancer; Colorectal polyposis not associated with APC/MUTYH mutation; Consensus development conference; Endoscopic surveillance; Polyposis management guideline; Surgical Management.
