    Share this information with members of your family. Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) is a genetic condition that significantly increases the risk of developing many types of cancers. Cancers related to this condition may occur at any age, but there is a high risk for cancer occurring in childhood. It has been reported that over 40% of children with LFS develop cancer by age 18. Nearly…
