Gastric cancer | Lobular breast cancer | Colon cancer | |
Lifetime cancer risk | 80% | 60% | Unknown |
Surveillance | EGD surveillance in persons not willing to undergo prophylactic gastrectomy | Annual clinical breast exams | Colon cancer screening in HDGC families with colon cancer from age 40 or 10 yr younger than the youngest diagnosis of colon cancer |
If CDH1 + with no evidence of cancer, EGD surveillance, usually starting at age 16 until time of prophylactic gastrectomy per IGCLC 7 guideline[11] | Bilateral breast MRI starting at age 30 | Repeat colonoscopy at 3-5 yr intervals per IGCLC 7 guidelines[11] | |
Therapy | Suggest prophylactic gastrectomy between age 20-30 if CDH1 + without evidence of cancer Suggests gastrectomy if evidence of cancer regardless of age | Prophylactic mastectomy not recommended, but may be considered on case by case basis | Not available |
