Overview

Gastric cancer is an extremely rare condition. Because few cases have been documented, detailed clinical information is limited. It is characterized as a primary or metastatic malignant neoplasm involving the stomach.

Symptoms & Signs

The inheritance pattern for gastric cancer is multifactorial. Associated genes include APC, CASP10, ERBB2, FGFR2, IRF1, KLF6, KRAS, MUTYH, and PIK3CA. There are currently 45 orphan drug compounds under investigation for this condition.

Prognosis & Outlook

Patients and caregivers are encouraged to seek genetic counseling to understand the implications of the multifactorial inheritance. Connecting with rare disease registries such as NORD or Orphanet may provide additional resources and support. Finding specialists experienced with gastric cancer can also be beneficial.
