Term · Oncology and biomedicine · MLC-T-ONC-003206

A rare, inherited disorder that increases the risk of developing a type of stomach cancer called intestinal gastric adenocarcinoma. This cancer begins in the mucus-producing cells in the innermost lining of the stomach and tends to grow and spread more slowly than other types of stomach cancer. FIGC runs in families, but the gene involved in this disorder is not known. Also called familial intestinal gastric cancer.
