Abstract
Gastric cancer is the third-most fatal cancer in the world. Though over the years, we saw patients mostly with intestinal type accounting for the highest mortality rate, the recent rise of the diffuse form with germline E-cadherin (CDH1) mutations has added a whole new level of interest to study in detail about the association between CDH1 and diffuse gastric cancer (DGC). This introduced a set guideline formulated by Internal Gastric Cancer Linkage Consortium (IGCLC) for patients with family history of diffuse gastric cancer and invasive lobular breast cancer (ILBC). The analysis of this link was also important to set proper management protocol for patients who were CDH1 mutation carriers which now involves genetic counselling, endoscopic surveillance and screening and prophylactic total gastrectomy (PTG). The study was conducted in accordance to the 'PRISMA guidelines for reporting systematic review and meta-analysis'. Peer-reviewed studies were included from the PubMed database and relevant articles were selected to be included in the study. Appropriate inclusion/exclusion criteria with free full text English articles were applied while selecting the articles. A total of 10 studies on review with different study populations showed that of the 42 patients who were diagnosed with diffuse gastric cancer, 88% of them showed a positive germline E-cadherin gene mutation and 100% of the CDH1 mutation carriers showed microscopic changes of signet ring cell adenocarcinoma of the stomach. The beneficial effects of PTG with better survival rates and low mortality rates has outweighed other treatment modalities. Laparoscopic approach has proved to be more useful and a safer approach for gastrectomy surgeries with better post-operative management. The need for prophylactic mastectomy is also increased in the recent times and thus this requires a new set of guidelines for ILBC patients with hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (HDGC) syndrome.

Abstract
Hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (HDGC), comprising 1%-3% of gastric malignances, has been associated with CDH1 variants. Accumulating evidence has demonstrated more than 100 germline CDH1 variant types. E-cadherin encoded by the CDH1 gene serves as a tumor suppressor protein. CDH1 promoter hypermethylation and other molecular mechanisms resulting in E-cadherin dysfunction are involved in the tumorigenesis of HDGC. Histopathology exhibits characteristic signet ring cells, and immunohistochemical staining may show negativity for E-cadherin and other signaling proteins. Early HDGC is difficult to detect by endoscopy due to the development of lesions beneath the mucosa. Prophylactic gastrectomy is the most recommended treatment for pathogenic CDH1 variant carriers. Recent studies have promoted the progression of promising molecular-targeted therapies and management strategies. This review summarizes recent advances in CDH1 variant types, tumorigenesis mechanisms, diagnosis, and therapy, as well as clinical implications for future gene therapies.

Abstract
E-cadherin (CDH1 gene) germline mutations are associated with the development of diffuse gastric cancer in the context of the so-called hereditary diffuse gastric syndrome, and with an inherited predisposition of lobular breast carcinoma. In 2019, the international gastric cancer linkage consortium revised the clinical criteria and established guidelines for the genetic screening of CDH1 germline syndromes. Nevertheless, the introduction of multigene panel testing in clinical practice has led to an increased identification of E-cadherin mutations in individuals without a positive family history of gastric or breast cancers. This observation motivated us to review and present a novel multidisciplinary clinical approach (nutritional, surgical, and image screening) for single subjects who present germline CDH1 mutations but do not fulfil the classic clinical criteria, namely those identified as-(1) incidental finding and (2) individuals with lobular breast cancer without family history of gastric cancer (GC).
