A novel stop codon mutation in exon 5 (c.639G>A) of the cadherin-1 gene in a Vietnamese man with hereditary diffuse gastric cancer: a case report.

Background: Germline pathogenic variants in the cadherin-1 (CDH1) gene cause a predisposition to hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (HDGC). We report an HDGC case in Vietnam and identify a novel mutation in the CDH1 gene.

Case Presentation: A 28-year-old Vietnamese man was diagnosed with HDGC and a novel mutation at c.

Quality of Life in Vietnamese Gastric Cancer Patients.

Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death in Vietnam. Research on health-related quality of life of Vietnamese gastric cancer patients is still in its infancy.

Aim: To assess the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of GC patients using the 15D instrument.
