Description
Chi-Han Yang is lead author of a 2026 case series on surgery for familial adenomatous polyposis. That is an inherited condition that fills the large bowel with growths. It carries a near-certain lifetime risk of bowel cancer if untreated. The operation studied removes most of the colon but keeps the rectum, preserving bowel function at the cost of lifelong checks.
Seven patients treated at one centre between 2015 and 2024 were followed for a median of 38 months. Six developed new rectal growths, all removed by scope procedures with no sign of cancer change. Bowel function stayed good in everyone. Six patients also took silymarin, a plant compound, which was well tolerated; its long-term effects remain under review.
