A review of the St Mark's Hospital Polyposis Registry has revealed an association between adenomatous polyposis (familial polyposis coli) and thyroid carcinoma. Even though full clinical information was unavailable on all patients in the registry, it is evident that young women (below 35 years of age) are at particular risk of developing thyroid cancer, mainly of a papillary type, their chances of being affected being approximately 160 times that of normal individuals. All patients with adenomatous polyposis should thus have regular thyroid examination.
圣马克医院息肉病登记处的一项综述显示，腺瘤性息肉病（家族性结肠息肉病）与甲状腺癌之间存在关联。尽管并非登记处所有患者都有完整的临床信息，但很明显，年轻女性（35岁以下）患甲状腺癌的风险尤其高，主要是乳头状癌，她们受影响的几率约为正常人的160倍。因此，所有患有腺瘤性息肉病的患者都应定期进行甲状腺检查。
