Li-Fraumeni syndrome
MONDO:0018875An autosomal dominant cancer predisposition disorder caused by pathogenic variants in the TP53 gene, characterized by an increased risk of a wide range of cancers, including but not limited to breast cancer, soft tissue sarcomas, osteosarcomas, brain tumors, adrenocortical carcinoma and leukemias.
Also known as: LFS, Li Fraumeni syndrome, Li-Fraumeni familial cancer susceptibility syndrome, Li-Fraumeni syndrome, Li-Fraumeni syndrome caused by mutation in TP53, SBLA syndrome, TP53 Li-Fraumeni syndrome, TP53-related Li-Fraumeni syndrome
47 clinical trials for this condition and its sub-types, 16 tagged with Li-Fraumeni syndrome itself.

Simple blood test could spot cancer earlier in High-Risk individuals
Diagnosis Recruiting nowThis study is testing a new blood test that looks for DNA fragments from tumors in people with hereditary cancer syndromes like Lynch syndrome or BRCA mutations. The goal is to see if the test can find cancers earlier than standard screening methods. Researchers will compare canc…

Nipple-saving breast surgery under the microscope: is it safe for gene carriers?
Knowledge-focused Recruiting nowThis study follows 4700 women with high-risk gene mutations (like BRCA1/2) who choose to have a nipple-sparing mastectomy to prevent breast cancer. Researchers want to see if keeping the nipple is safe over many years, compared to traditional mastectomy that removes it. The goal …
