Guidelines

EHTG has a track record of expanding guidelines and practises the concept of “dynamic guidelines”. This concept means that whenever evidence has been produced in the published literature that should lead to a change of previous guidelines and is relevant for the clinical management of a syndrome, EHTG will ask for a revision of the corresponding chapter.

Current Guidelines in process

• FAP and rare adenomatous polyposis syndromes (Coordinators: Gloria Zaffaroni and Gabriela Möslein)
• Oligopolyposis (Coordinator: Elizabeth Half)
• Revision and Update of the current EHTG-ESCP Guidelines for Lynch Syndrome (Giulia Martina Cavestro, Alessandro Mannucci, Gabriela Möslein)
