Hereditary cancer genes can lead
to cancer risks as high as 100%!
BRCA1 or BRCA2 = 85%
MLH1/MSH2 = 80%
APC = 100%!!!
P53 = 90+ %
Percentage of Cancer that is Hereditary
1. 1-2%
2. 5-10%
3. 15-20%
4. 25-30%
Are cancer genes REALLY rare?
Tri-Cities population > 500,000
1 in 400 carry BRCA = 1,250
 1 in 1000 carry Lynch syndrome = 500
 1 in 5000 carry p53 = 100

LFS Cancer Risks



Cancer risk by age:
 50% by age 30 (vs. 1% pop risk)
 90% by age 70
Age-specific cancer risk:
 42% from 0-16 years
 38% from 17-45 years
 63% after age 45
Lifetime risk of cancer:
 90%- 100% for women
 70% for men
Available surveillance guidelines for LFS:
are these sufficient?
• Recommended surveillance for children
– Annual physical examination, CBC, urinalysis
– Annual abdominal ultrasound
– Additional organ based screening depending on family history
• Recommended surveillance for adults
– Annual physical examination (with skin and neuro evaluation)
– Annual CBC, urinalysis
– For women: clinical breast exam q6 months at 20-25 yrs
– For women: annual mammogram at 20-25 yrs
– Consideration of annual rapid full body MRI or PET scan—NEW
(found ca in 20% of asymptomatic carriers when screening--soon to be
published by Schiffman et. al.)

Genetics Challenge #1
Which patient does NOT need a genetics referral?
1. Male with breast cancer diagnosed at age 55
2. Twenty-year-old with medullary thyroid carcinoma
3. Sixty-year-old female with a sister diagnosed with
breast cancer at age 55. No other family history.
4. Fifty-year-old male diagnosed with colon cancer with
no family history

mutation. She has not been tested. What is her
approximate risk for breast cancer?

Last Challenge
Choose the FALSE statement:
1. Skin lesions are as important as cancer in making
some genetic diagnoses
2. BRCA mutations can be associated with Fanconi
anemia
3. Breast cancer is not inherited from the father
4. Do genetic testing on the person with cancer first
HOW DO WE IDENTIFY INDIVIDUALS
