Overview
Screening for cancerous lesions by small intestine radiography, esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), colonoscopy, pancreatic ultrasound, pelvic ultrasound, mammography, and Papanicolaou test (Pap test) is recommended among patients with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome.
Screening
Patients who are at risk of developing Peutz-Jeghers syndrome are screened for the locations of the hamartomas by:
At time of diagnosis, screening for cancerous lesions among patients with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome include the following:[1]
- Small intestine radiography (every 2 years)
- Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (every 2 years)
- Colonoscopy (every 2 years)
- Pancreatic ultrasound (annually)
- Endoscopic ultrasound
- Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP)
- Abdominal CT
- Pelvic ultrasound (annually)
- Testicular ultrasound (annually)
- Mammography at ages 25, 30, 35, and 38 years, then every 2 years until age 50 years, then annually
- Cervical Papanicolaou test (Pap test) (annually).
- Physical examination that includes evaluation of the breasts, abdomen, pelvis, and testes should be performed by a physician (annually)
- Complete blood count (CBC) to check for anemia should be done (annually)
