Enhanced endoscopic detection of occult gastric cancer in carriers of pathogenic CDH1 variants

ConclusionsGastric cancer detection was more frequent with implementation of a systematic surveillance protocol inCDH1 variant carriers. Given the decision for prophylactic surgery is often made by patients in the context of family history and pathologic result of surveillance biopsies, we propose the Bethesda protocol offers patients an opportunity to make more informed decisions.
