Gastrointestinal (GI) polyposis is a major risk factor for colorectal cancer (CRC) and a defining feature of hereditary polyposis syndromes such as familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). Therapy-associated polyposis (TAP), however, is a rare and incompletely characterized condition that develops decades after treatment for childhood or young adult cancers (CYAC), most often following abdominopelvic radiation or exposure to alkylating agents. As long-term CYAC survival improves, the burden of late...
