Ever wonder about the long-term consequences of total gastrectomy for cancer risk reduction? Read this by Amber Famiglietti Gallanis, MD and Lauren Gamble online now Journal of Clinical Oncology. #CDH1 #HDGC ascopubs.org/doi/full/10.12…

DYK: it is Stomach Cancer Awareness month. Thanks to our clinical care team NIH Clinical Center and National Cancer Institute , and the support of NoStomachForCancer we created this informative booklet for #HDGC. It looks great!!

Thank you Jeremy L. Davis MD, FACS. It’s a pleasure serving our patients along with you and the other amazing team members @NCIResearchCtr. I celebrated GC awareness day by speaking on Genetic Counselors’s panel about my passion for the profession. x.com/geneticcouns/s…

It was a joy hosting this event and planning it with BHarrison, Erica Price and Tatiana Garrison Johnson Thank you to all who came thru, NYMAC , and those who have supported @GOLENDNA2.

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...

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…

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.

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.

14/ Thank you to: Carrie Ryan, MD, MS and Grace-Ann Fasaye, ScM, CGC and our collaborators Sonia Kupfer, Jim Ford Stanford Medicine, Dan Chung Mass General Brigham, James Dowty and Joshua Sampson, and all of our co-authors. We appreciate the support of NIH Clinical Center &@NCIResearchCtr. #CDH1 JAMA
