A recently published cohort study of 483 individuals with Li-Fraumeni Syndrome (LFS) identified 113 skin cancers. The cumulative incidence of a diagnosis of any skin cancer was 36.3% by the age of 70. Specifically for melanoma, the median age at diagnosis was 42 with a 7-fold increased incidence (SIR 7.28, 95% CI 4.50-11.13) compared with …

A recent study found that pathogenic variants in the Ataxia Telangiectasia Mutated (ATM) gene are associated with multiple cancers. Specifically, moderate-to-high risks for pancreatic, prostate, gastric, and invasive ductal breast cancers, and low-to-moderate risks for ductal carcinoma in situ, male breast cancer, ovarian cancer, colorectal cancer, and melanoma.This provides more data to guide risks and …
