The hereditary tumour syndrome that correlates with a carriership of a pathogenic CDH1 variant is very rare and as such underrecognized. Early recognition however can save lives by preventing death due to diffuse type gastric cancer at early age. Therefore, (refresher) training of all clinical workers involved in early recognition, surveillance, treatment, and aftercare is important. This two-days…
