<div>Abstract<p>Li-Fraumeni Syndrome (LFS) is a hereditary cancer predisposition syndrome with up to 90% lifetime risk. Cancer screening, including annual whole-body MRI (WBMRI), recommended due known survival advantage, detection rate of 7% on initial screening. Intervention and rates subsequent screenings are unknown. Clinical data for pediatric adult LFS patients (n=182) were reviewed, instances WBMRI screening interventions based results. For each biopsy secondary imaging, as well diagnosis, analyzed comparing versus WBMRI. Of the total cohort (n=182), we identified 68 50 who had undergone at least two screenings, mean 3.8+1.9 (adults) 4.0+2.1 (pediatric) screenings. Findings led an imaging or invasive intervention in 38% adults 20% children. On follow up, overall lower (19%, p=0.0026) stable children p=NS). Thirteen cancers detected (7% 14% scans), both (pediatric: 4%, adult: 3%) 10%, 6%) Rates after decreased significantly between first exams remained patients. similar (3-4% initial, 6-10% subsequent) adults. These findings provide important counseling about outcomes.</p></div>
