NCT ID NCT03176836

First seen May 07, 2026 ยท Last updated May 07, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether advanced MRI scans can detect very small tumors and tell them apart from harmless growths in people with Li-Fraumeni Syndrome, a genetic condition that greatly increases cancer risk. About 30 participants with a TP53 gene mutation will undergo special imaging. The goal is to improve early detection, not to treat or cure the disease.
