“…Like the IGCLC, we would not recommend prophylactic total gastrectomy or bilateral mastectomy in the absence of significant family history. A similar situation has recently been reported in Lynch syndrome where very important phenotypic differences are being unveiled even within the same gene when comparing different families 20. We hope this study fosters further research and helps the scientific community appreciate even more the complexity of CDH1 germline mutations and the associated phenotypes.…”

“…While the reasons for this observation are not completely understood, it represents an important argument for the discussion of extended surgery [19]. Increasing evidence suggests that cancer risk is not only influenced by the path_MMR gene but also by gender, genetic modifiers, obesity, and lifestyle factors such as physical activity, smoking, alcohol consumption, diet, and even continent of residence [20,21]. Therefore, an individual's risk assessment needs to consider the patient's age, comorbidities, and genotype, as well as expected functional outcome and priorities.…”

“…A number of different environmental and genetic factors play a major role in the pathogenesis of CRC. Hereditary CRC syndromes including Lynch syndrome (hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer), familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), and multiple associated polyposis (MAP) 3 , 4 can predispose an individual to increased risk of CRC. Chronic inflammatory stimulation, schistosomiasis infection, diet and other environmental factors can also promote the occurrence of CRC.…”
