It was an honor to participate in #IGCLC 2024 and share our work on #HDGC. I learned so much from a truly interdisciplinary meeting of international colleagues. #CDH1 @i3S_UPorto @JeremyLDavisMD @Rachael_C_Lopez @gracefulDNA
Proud to be on the same team @NCIResearchCtr with Michaela working to increase awareness in the Black community about the life saving implications of cancer genetic counseling and testing. #genechat, @GOLDENDNA2

13/ What does this mean? That gastric cancer risk due to CDH1 is not as high as we once thought. Important because our approach to prophylactic gastrectomy should be re-evaluated. We should apply prophylactic surgery sparingly, and on the highest of the high-risk patients.

11/ We demonstrated how family history of gastric cancer influenced cumulative risk. Cumulative gastric cancer risk for someone with up to 3 affected first-degree relatives was 38%, whereas an individual with zero affected relatives had a 10% cumulative risk.

8/ Among 213 families with germline CDH1 variants, and over 7000 individuals… First, we showed that the prevalence of gastric cancer was 14% & the prevalence of breast cancer was 26% among the entire cohort…

Proud to share this major collaborative effort with everyone. I will share my thanks at the end of this thread.
But first, I want to share some key points to take away from this paper on #cancer risk due to #CDH1...
Among individuals with a CDH1 gene variant, the risk of gastric cancer was lower than previously described, while risk of female breast cancer was similar to previous estimates.

Ever wonder about the long-term consequences of total gastrectomy for cancer risk reduction?
Read this by @AmberFGallanis and @LaurenGambleMD online now @JCO_ASCO. #CDH1 #HDGC ascopubs.org/doi/full/10.120…
