There are insufficient evidences to recommend routine screening for appendiceal cancers. Meanwhile, patients with certain conditions like familial cancer syndromes as well as patients with long standing chronic inflammatory disease such as ulcerative colitis might drive a benefit from appropriate GI screenings according to the specific guidelines for their specific conditions.
