• Desmoid tumours are rare enough that individual surgeons and centres accumulate limited personal experience; a pooled, multidisciplinary consensus gives trainees a reference point for how the field currently thinks about first-line management. • Understanding that surgery is no longer the automatic default helps residents avoid reflexively recommending resection for a disease where observation or systemic therapy may be preferred, particularly given the tumour's variable and often self-limited course. • Because the guideline spans adult and paediatric care, it is a useful single reference when desmoid tumours arise in either population, rather than needing to reconcile separate adult and paediatric literatures.
