Metastatic breast cancer (LFS diagnosed post-mortem) |
Of note, the same kind of cancer can be diagnosed in two separate individuals carrying the same TP53 variant, and commas separate their ages. If there is only one person with a specific variant, each cancer diagnosis is listed separately, with the respective age at each diagnosis. For example, the person carrier of the c.1031T>C variant was diagnosed with four different cancers and had a leiomyosarcoma on each thigh diagnosed at 36 and 52 years old; the second leiomyosarcoma was considered to be a separate occurrence from the first leiomyosarcoma. Recurrences are not shown in this table, due to the short interval of follow-up, but the cause of death is shown in the last column.
CNS, central nervous system; D, diagnostic; ER, estrogen receptor; F, female; f/u, follow-up; HER2, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2; HR, hormone receptor; LFS, Li Fraumeni syndrome; M, male; MPNST, malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour; P, predictive; PEComa, perivascular epithelioid cell tumor; WB-MRI, whole-body magnetic resonance imaging.
