Funded Activity Summary

Gastric Adenocarcinoma and Proximal Polyposis of the Stomach (GAPPS) is an inherited form of gastric cancer. Affected patients develop a large number of gastric polyps and are at risk of gastric cancer in their 30s. The only effective treatment is to surgically remove the stomach. Gastrectomy is, however, associated with significant post-operative complications. We will use laboratory and mouse models of GAPPS to identify acceptable new approaches to prevent cancer in these patients.
