- A first-degree relative with any cancer diagnosed before age 45 years
- Another first- or second-degree relative with any cancer diagnosed before age 45 years or a sarcoma diagnosed at any age
Li-Fraumeni–like syndrome criteria
- Birch definition
A proband with any childhood cancer or
sarcoma, brain tumor, or adrenocortical carcinoma diagnosed before age 45 years
A first- or second-degree relative with a
typical Li-Fraumeni cancer (sarcoma, breast cancer, brain tumor, adrenocortical
carcinoma, or leukemia) at any age
A first- or second-degree relative with any
cancer before age 60 years
- Eels definition
Two first- or second-degree relatives with
Li-Fraumeni–related malignancies (sarcoma, breast cancer, brain tumor,
leukemia, adrenocortical tumor, melanoma, prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer)
at any age
Work up
