NCT ID NCT02950987
First seen Jan 08, 2026 · Last updated Apr 25, 2026 · Updated 14 times
Summary
This study looks at whether whole body MRI scans can help find cancer early in children and adults with Li-Fraumeni syndrome, a genetic condition that greatly increases cancer risk. About 150 participants will get annual scans for four years to see if they keep coming back and how many cancers are detected. The goal is to improve screening for this high-risk group, not to treat or cure the disease.
