CDH1 Cancer Risks
When a ๐พ๐ฟ๐1 mutation is identified, several factors should be considered to figure out what the cancer risks might be and what medical management should be advised. Specifically, differences in cancer risks among those with a ๐พ๐ฟ๐1 mutation are not well understood. Identifying a ๐พ๐ฟ๐1 mutation in families with hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (HDGC) …

Individuals with a CDH1 mutation and classic personal and family history of diffuse gastric (stomach) cancer have a very high risk of developing and dying from stomach cancer, if they do not have preventive surgery to remove their stomach. A simulation study to assess prophylactic total gastrectomy (PTG; the removal of the stomach to prevent …

BRCA1/2 and Other Gene Carriers with Breast Cancer Donโt Always Receive Recommended Treatment
BRCA1/2 and other gene mutation carriers with early stage breast cancer are not always receiving cancer treatment as recommended by national guidelines. Even though more and more people have been tested for hereditary cancer over the years, using this information accurately to guide treatment has not been as successful. These findings highlight the need for …

CDH1: Gastric and Breast Cancer Risks
CDH1 mutation carriers are at higher risk for diffuse gastric cancer (men and women) and lobular breast cancer (women). Current strategies to manage high risks of gastric cancer include prophylactic gastrectomy (i.e., removal of the stomach), which can have severe physical and psychological implications. A recent study found that men have a higher risk of …
