Core Tip

Core Tip: Modern screening approaches, including comprehensive genetic testing and advanced imaging modalities, offer promising avenues for early detection and intervention, ultimately improving outcomes in individuals with Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS). We advocate the need for internationally recognized and standardized guidelines for diagnosis, treatment and follow up of LFS and the need to form an international multidisciplinary network able to provide the highest level of expertise.
