Prophylactic Total Gastrectomy for Hereditary Diffuse Gastric Cancer
Hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (HDGC) is characterized as an autosomal dominant cancer susceptibility syndrome largely attributable to germline mutations and deletions in the gene encoding E-cadherin, CDH1. Mutation carriers have a more than 70% lifetime risk of developing DGC and an elevated probability of lobular breast cancer. The aim of this review was to evaluate the results of surgical...
متن کاملProphylactic Laparoscopic-Assisted Total Gastrectomy for Hereditary Diffuse Gastric Cancer
BACKGROUND Ten percent of gastric cancer (GC) cases are familial, with one third resulting from a mutation in the tumor suppressor gene CDH1. Loss of this important structure can result in hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (HDGC), which carries a high mortality if early diagnosis is not made. Despite its clear genetic origin, optimal management of HDGC family members is controversial, as the ut...
متن کاملGASTRIC CANCER Chromoendoscopic surveillance in hereditary diffuse gastric cancer: an alternative to prophylactic gastrectomy?
Background: Hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (HDGC) is defined by germline mutations in the E-cadherin gene, CDH-1. The first family in which CDH-1 mutations were identified was a large Maori kindred, where lifetime penetrance is 70%. Prophylactic gastrectomy is an unacceptable option for many mutation carriers. The results of annual chromoendoscopic surveillance using the methylene blue/congo...
متن کاملProphylactic Laparoscopic Gastrectomy for Hereditary Diffuse Gastric Cancer: A Case Series in a Single Family
BACKGROUND Hereditary diffuse gastric carcinomas (HDGCs) are particularly troubling because of autosomal dominant heritance, high penetrance, early age of onset, and a lack of effective treatment once symptomatic. HDGC is further complicated by difficulty of effective screening. Gastrectomy provides definitive treatment for CDH1 mutation-positive patients. Attempting to minimize the morbidity a...
