What are the Surveillance and Management Strategies?
Due to the high risk of developing multiple cancers, children with LFS require rigorous and continuous cancer surveillance. Surveillance protocols often include regular physical exams, imaging studies (such as MRI), and blood tests to detect cancers at an early, more treatable stage. Pediatric oncologists work with a multidisciplinary team to develop individualized surveillance plans. Preventative measures, such as prophylactic surgeries, may be considered in some cases.
