Five cancer types account for the majority of LFS tumors: adrenocortical carcinomas, breast cancer, central nervous system tumors, osteosarcomas, and soft-tissue sarcomas. Other cancers associated with LFS include leukemia, colorectal cancer, stomach cancer, lung cancer, melanoma, pediatric head and neck cancers, pancreatic cancer, and prostate cancer. Cancer survivors are at increased risk for developing additional primary cancers and treatment-related secondary cancers. The lifetime risks of cancer for women and men with classic LFS are 90% and 70%, respectively, and 50% of cancers occur prior to age 40 years.</p></div><div><h4 class="inline">Diagnosis/testing.</h4><p>The clinical diagnosis of LFS can be established in a proband who meets clinical diagnostic criteria, or the molecular diagnosis is established in a proband with a germline pathogenic variant in <i>TP53</i> identified by molecular genetic testing.</p></div><div><h4 class="inline">Management.</h4><p><i>Treatment of manifestations:</i> Bilateral mastectomy rather than lumpectomy is often recommended for LFS-related breast cancer to reduce the risk of a second primary breast cancer and to avoid radiation therapy. Radiation therapy should be avoided if possible with treatment of other cancers, to reduce the risk of secondary malignancies. Conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy may also pose an increased secondary cancer risk; however, treatment efficacy should be prioritized above concerns about late effects. Otherwise, standard oncologic management is recommended.</p><p><i>Prevention of primary manifestations:</i> Risk-reducing bilateral mastectomy to reduce the risk for breast cancer is an option for women with LFS; colonoscopy may be considered as surveillance as well as primary prevention of colorectal cancer; dermatologic surveillance can be used to detect and remove premalignant lesions.</p><p><i>Surveillance:</i> Comprehensive physical examination and ultrasound of abdomen and pelvis every three to four months from birth to age 18 years; comprehensive physical examination every six months in those older than age 18 years; annual whole-body MRI; females should have a clinical breast examination every six to 12 months beginning at age 20-25 years, annual breast MRI starting between age 20-30 years, and annual mammogram alternating with breast MRI from age 30 to 75 years; annual brain MRI; upper endoscopy and colonoscopy every two to five years beginning at age 25 years; annual dermatologic exam beginning at age 18 years; annual ultrasound of the abdomen and pelvis beginning at age 18 years; consider additional screening for lung, pancreatic, prostate, and thyroid cancer depending on family history and additional risk factors; assess social work and genetic counseling needs at each visit.</p><p><i>Agents/circumstances to avoid:</i> Minimize exposure to diagnostic and therapeutic radiation; avoid known carcinogens including unprotected sun exposure, tobacco use, occupational exposures, and excessive alcohol use.</p><p><i>Evaluation of relatives at risk:</i> If a molecular diagnosis of LFS has been established in the proband, offer <i>TP53</i> molecular genetic testing to all first-degree relatives (including children) and other relatives in order to identify individuals with LFS who would benefit from increased cancer monitoring, with attention to symptoms or signs of cancer and early intervention when a cancer or precancer is identified. If a clinical diagnosis of LFS has been established in the proband but the proband does not have an identified <i>TP53</i> pathogenic variant, all at-risk family members should be counseled regarding their potential increased risks for LFS-related cancers and options for surveillance and risk reduction.</p></div><div><h4 class="inline">Genetic counseling.</h4><p>LFS is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. Most individuals diagnosed with LFS inherited a <i>TP53</i> pathogenic variant from a parent. Some individuals diagnosed with LFS have the disorder as the result of a <i>de novo</i> germline pathogenic variant. The frequency of <i>de novo</i> pathogenic variants is estimated at between 7% and 20%. Each child of an individual with a molecular diagnosis of LFS has a 50% risk of inheriting the <i>TP53</i> pathogenic variant; each child of an individual with a clinical diagnosis of LFS (in whom a <i>TP53</i> pathogenic variant has not been identified) is presumed to have an increased risk for LFS. If a <i>TP53</i> pathogenic variant has been identified in an affected family member, predictive testing for at-risk family members and prenatal/preimplantation genetic testing are possible.</p></div></div><div id="li-fraumeni.Diagnosis"><h2 id="_li-fraumeni_Diagnosis_">Diagnosis</h2><p>Consensus clinical diagnostic criteria for Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) have been published [<a class="bk_pop" href="#li-fraumeni.REF.li.1969.747">Li &#x00026; Fraumeni 1969</a>].</p><div id="li-fraumeni.Suggestive_Findings"><h3>Suggestive Findings</h3><p>LFS <b>should be suspected</b> in probands who meet modified Chompret criteria or have any additional suggestive findings.</p><p><b>Modified Chompret criteria</b> [<a class="bk_pop" href="#li-fraumeni.REF.bougeard.2015.2345">Bougeard et al 2015</a>]:</p><ul><li class="half_rhythm"><div>A proband with a tumor belonging to the classic LFS tumor spectrum (e.g., premenopausal breast cancer, soft-tissue sarcoma, osteosarcoma, central nervous system [CNS] tumor, adrenocortical carcinoma [ACC]) before age 46 years <b>AND</b> at least one first- or second-degree relative with a classic LFS tumor (except breast cancer if the proband has breast cancer) before age 56 years or with multiple tumors; <b>OR</b></div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>A proband with multiple tumors (except multiple breast tumors), two of which belong to the classic LFS tumor spectrum and the first of which occurred before age 46 years; <b>OR</b></div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>A proband with ACC, choroid plexus tumor, or rhabdomyosarcoma (embryonal anaplastic subtype), irrespective of family history; <b>OR</b></div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>A proband with breast cancer before age 31 years</div></li></ul><p>

Cellular stress induces the activation, stabilization, and accumulation of p53, which can initiate various responses including cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, senescence, DNA repair, and cell differentiation [<a class="bk_pop" href="#li-fraumeni.REF.rocca.2022.3664">Rocca et al 2022</a>].</p><p>It has been proposed that p53 is a central driver in creating a cellular microenvironment that is conducive to tumor formation and growth. This theory, termed the precancerous niche hypothesis, may eventually lead to possible treatment options [<a class="bk_pop" href="#li-fraumeni.REF.pantziarka.2022.1621">Pantziarka &#x00026; Blagden 2022</a>].</p><p><b>Mechanism of disease causation.</b> Germline <i>TP53</i> pathogenic variants result in loss of function by creating a constitutive defect of p53 DNA binding and decreased transcriptional response to DNA damage. Some <i>TP53</i> pathogenic variants have a dominant-negative effect, reducing the function of the normal allele in cells that have not acquired a secondary somatic pathogenic variant.</p><p><b><i>TP53</i>-specific laboratory technical considerations.</b>
<i>TP53</i> missense variants are commonly identified in tumor tissue. An alternate tissue that is free from cancerous cells (e.g., leukocytes from blood [except in those with leukemia], saliva, skin) is necessary to identify a germline <i>TP53</i> pathogenic variant.</p><p>Identification of a <i>TP53</i> pathogenic variant with low allele frequency (e.g., significantly less than 50%) may be indicative of mosaicism, clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP), hematologic malignancy or premalignancy, or circulating tumor cells [<a class="bk_pop" href="#li-fraumeni.REF.batalini.2019.107">Batalini et al 2019</a>, <a class="bk_pop" href="#li-fraumeni.REF.coffee.2020.203">Coffee et al 2020</a>, <a class="bk_pop" href="#li-fraumeni.REF.mester.2020.396">Mester et al 2020</a>, <a class="bk_pop" href="#li-fraumeni.REF.schwartz.2021.1677">Schwartz et al 2021</a>, <a class="bk_pop" href="#li-fraumeni.REF.castillo.2022.1621">Castillo et al 2022</a>].
