Hereditary diffuse gastric cancer: how to look for and how to manage it

Karol Polom et al. Updates Surg. 2018 Jun.

Abstract

With a current molecular revolution, hereditary gastric cancer represents a small group of patients that require a special multidisciplinary treatment. Surgeons being a member of the multidisciplinary teams are an important part of the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of these patients. The prophylactic nature of the gastrectomy with all different problems associated with this procedure need to be widely discussed with patients. We present a review of how to look for and how to manage a hereditary diffuse-type gastric cancer.

Keywords: CDH-1; E-cadherin; Hereditary; Molecular; Stomach cancer.
