Summary:Findings of diagnostics and treatment of 198 pilots suffering from combined polyposis in the stomach and large intestine are presented. Different therapeutic tactics should be chosen for these patients. Annual dynamic evaluation should be made in case of a benign course and without an upward tendency, whereas diagnosed villus polyps, villus-tubular adenoma with the second or third phase of dysplasia, adenomatous polyps with regional 2nd or 3d phase dysplasia will require early polypectomy to be followed by yearly dynamic endoscopy. The proposed tactics is angled at early diagnostics of stomach and large intestine cancers. This tactics allows considerable prolongation of the flight career of pilots with the diagnosis of combined polypous lesions.
