Overview
Secondary prevention strategies to detect intestinal and extraintestinal malignancies in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome include performing enteroscopy and colonoscopy at periodic intervals.
Secondary Prevention
At time of diagnosis, screening for cancerous lesions among patients with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome include the following:[1][2]
- Small bowel video capsule endoscopy (every 3 years)
- Stomach esophagogastroduodenoscopy (every 3 years)
- Colonoscopy (every 3 years)
- Pancreas (every 1-2 years)
- Abdominal CT
- Pelvic ultrasound (annually)
- Testicular exam (annually)
- If abnormalities palpable perform an ultrasound
- Mammography starting at age 25 (annually)
- Endometrial pelvic exam and ultrasound (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)
