Magnetic Resonance Imaging Screening in Li Fraumeni Syndrome

Completed
Conditions
Li-Fraumeni Syndrome
Interventions
Other: Whole body MRI
Other: Psychological questionnaires
Registration Number
NCT01737255
Lead Sponsor
Institute of Cancer Research, United Kingdom
Brief Summary

This study is aimed at exploring the use of whole body MRI for early cancer detection in TP53 mutation carriers and population controls, with the hypothesis that more cancers will be detected in the TP53 mutation carrier group. A secondary end-point will be the number of incidental findings detected and subsequent investigations required. A series of questionnaires will be used to assess the psychological impact of screening on both the study and control group.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Diagnosis of malignant diseaseWithin 12 months of MRI scan

Following MRI scan further investigations may be required to diagnose malignancy

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Diagnosis of relevant non-malignant disease12 months following MRI scan

Further investigations may be required following the MRI to characterise such findings.

Diagnosis of non-relevant disease, number and type of investigations required12 months following MRI
Psychological impact of MRI screening12 months following MRI screening

Psychological questionnaires to be completed at intervals up till 12 months post scan
