Introduction: Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is characterized by the development of duodenal polyposis (DP), which later develops into colonic adenomatous polyps and, eventually, colorectal cancer. Neuroendocrine tumors (NET) are rare in FAP and reports of pancreas-preserving total duodenectomy (PPTD) to treat NET are limited.
Case: A 62-year-old. woman was previously diagnosed with FAP and she underwent a total colectomy and ileorectal anastomosis. Surveillance by upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed duodenal polyposis and a 35 mm flat, elevated tumor near the ampulla of Vater. She was diagnosed as having Spigelman stage Ⅳ DP and she underwent PPTD. Histopathology revealed a 7 mm NET G1 in the ampulla of Vater and multiple adenomas.
Discussion: Little is known about duodenal NET G1in FAP patients who undergo PPTD. Close follow-up is necessary.

Drug resistance often stems from drug-tolerant persister (DTP) cells in cancer. These cells arise from various lineages and exhibit complex dynamics. However, effectively targeting DTP cells remains challenging.

Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is an autosomal dominant hereditary disease characterized by the progressive development of multiple adenomatous polyps along the colon. The majority of individuals develop colorectal cancer by the age of 40 within the evolutionary course of the disease. For this reason, screening family members is essential to enable identification, surveillance, and appropriate intervention.

Carcinogenesis encompasses processes that lead to increased mutation rates, enhanced cellular division (tumour growth), and invasive growth. Colorectal cancer (CRC) carcinogenesis in carriers of pathogenic APC (path_APC) and pathogenic mismatch repair gene (path_MMR) variants is initiated by a second hit affecting the corresponding wild-type allele. In path_APC carriers, second hits result in the development of multiple adenomas, with CRC typically emerging after an additional 20 years.

Background: This study aims to report the experience over 40 years and outcomes of 5070 patients who underwent a pelvic pouch procedure.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained IPAA database- (1983 - 2022) was performed. Patients were stratified based on the diagnosis: ulcerative colitis (UC), indeterminate colitis (IC), familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), inflammatory bowel disease-dysplasia, Crohn's colitis (CD), and others.
