Background: Li-Fraumeni Syndrome (LFS) is an autosomal dominant hereditary cancer syndrome associated with germline pathogenic variants in in the TP53 gene and high risk of a broad range of early-onset malignancies. The 70-77% of LFS associated tumors are: breast cancer, soft-tissue sarcoma, brain tumor, osteosarcoma and adrenocortical carcinoma. However, ovarian, pancreatic and gastrointestinal track tumors are also LFS-related. The patients with LFS are at risk for a second ...
