Risk factors and protective measures for desmoid tumours in familial adenomatous polyposis: retrospective cohort study.

Methods: This retrospective study accessed data from the prospectively maintained Hereditary Digestive Tumours Registry from 2000 to 2023.

Purpose: Three prospective observational studies (Italy, the Netherlands, France) on active surveillance (AS) in patients with extra-abdominal desmoid-type fibromatosis (DTF) support AS as a frontline approach. Identifying prognostic factors for the failure of AS will help determine the strategy. The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic impact of clinical and molecular variables in a larger series.
