Article Synopsis
- There are clear guidelines for hereditary diffuse gastric cancer, but not for familial intestinal gastric cancer (FIGC), leading to uncertainty about how to check for it.
- A study in Spain looked at families with FIGC to find out how often they should have endoscopies (a test doctors use to look at the stomach).
- They found that many people in these families had early signs of stomach cancer and that the bacteria Helicobacter pylori increases the risk of those signs appearing.
