Abstract
Gastric cancer in young adults is a challenging situation. In Brazil, recent data indicates that most of them are diagnosed with advanced
disease and that CDH1 germline mutations are not frequently detected. It is high time to characterize the spectrum and frequency of germline
mutations in gastric cancer young patients and to improve health care to high risk individuals.
