Li-Fraumeni Education and Early Detection Program (housed in the Cancer Prevention Center at MD Anderson)
The LEAD program is housed in MD Anderson’s Cancer Prevention Center. Patients contact the Cancer Prevention Center for appointments to this clinic and specify that they would like the Li-Fraumeni Screening clinic. Our LFS screening begins once in the patient is ~6 months out from their active cancer diagnosis. We have a Pediatric group also doing screening for children, which is located in our pediatric department (1-855-767-4757). We follow unaffected individuals with LFS with high risk surveillance (including wbMRI) but do not see patients with active cancer in our clinic. MD Anderson sees patients that have LFS with active cancers, but the actual screening program sees patients after they are cancer free. We follow both adults and children at our center.

Once diagnosed, we follow unaffected children and adolescents with LFS with recommended surveillance including wbMRI screening. We also treat LFS individuals who have been diagnosed with cancer with particular attention to treatment planning that takes into account their underlying LFS diagnosis. We have a partnership with an adult hereditary cancer program to allow for smooth transition of care when patients reach adulthood.
