A comparison of microsatellite instability in early onset gastric carcinomas from relatively low and high incidence European populations.

We have investigated the genetic basis of gastric carcinomas occurring in patients aged under 40 years from a Portuguese population with a relatively high incidence of gastric cancer. We analysed a panel of 12 microsatellite loci in DNA extracted from gastric carcinomas arising in 16 patients aged 24-39 years from Braga, Portugal. Overall, microsatellite instability (MI) in at least 1 locus was...

Hereditary diffuse gastric cancer: One family’s story

Hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (HDGC) is an inherited form of gastric cancer that carries a poor prognosis. Most HDGCs are caused by an autosomal dominant genetic mutation in the CDH1 gene, which carries a 70%-80% lifetime risk of gastric cancer. Given its submucosal origin, endoscopic surveillance is an unreliable means of early detection, and prophylactic gastrectomy is recommended for CDH...

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...
