摘要篇首: TO THE EDITORAlthough the incidence of gastric cancer has declined somewhat in recent years, it remains one of the most common cancers worldwide[1], and is the most common cancer in East Asian countries such as Korea and Japan[2].In terms of the genetics of gastric cancer, mutations in CDH1 (E-cadberin) have been associated with hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (HDGC). The first germline mutation in CDH1 was reported in a large Maori HDGC family[1],with subsequent corroborations in Western and Asian HDGC families[3-5], CDH1 mutations are believed to be associated with up to 50% of HDGC families[5], but have not been linked with sporadic or intestinal types of gastric cancer[5].
