42.1 Introduction
Advances in cancer genetics allowed accurate diagnosis of hereditary cancer predisposition syndromes in the eld of medical oncology. Hereditary cancer syndromes are characterized by early-stage tumors that account for 3–20% of all cancers, and most commonly demonstrate an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern [1, 2]. Although, they constitute a small portion of all cancers, successful diagnosis, screening, and follow- up strategies would improve morbidity and mortality rates in this group of patients. American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) has published guidelines that have become the most widely used reference sources in this eld, which are updated with the advances in cancer genetics [3, 4].
The diagnosis of hereditary cancer syndromes is made by detecting the underlying gene muta­tion following clinical suspicion. Following diag­nosis, investigating other components of the syndrome is essential. Imaging plays an impor­tant role in the diagnosis, screening, and follow­ up of patients with hereditary cancer syndromes. Early diagnosis would often lead to prophylactic
surgery, which its importance in the management of patients with hereditary cancer syndromes is growing [5]. Therefore, clinicians should be aware of the current guidelines for the appropri­ate selection of radiological modality for screen­ing, diagnosis, and follow-up, as well as screening and follow-up intervals for each hereditary can­cer predisposition syndrome. Also, radiologists should be informed about the underlying genetic condition of the patient to focus on other possible sites for tumors. Although there are main guide­lines in the literature, due to the infrequent nature of these conditions, the choice of imaging modal­ity and interval is still a matter of debate for most of these syndromes. Each patient should be han­dled individually and should be managed in a multidisciplinary fashion.
In this chapter, radiological imaging modali­ties for the diagnosis, screening, and follow-up for the tumors caused by most common hereditary cancer syndromes will be discussed. First, an overview of imaging modalities will be presented, followed by a summary of most commonly encountered hereditary cancer predisposition syn­dromes with component tumors and specic screening/follow-up recommendations.

after treatment of cancers in hereditary cancer predisposition syndromes.
Conventional radiography (CR), ultrasonog­raphy (US), computed tomography (CT), mag­netic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography/CT (PET/CT), and single­photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) are the main imaging methods used in the diagnosis and follow-up of patients with these syndromes and screening of asymptomatic mutation carriers [6, 7].
CR is an imaging technique that involves X-rays. Chest radiography and mammography are frequently used in cancer screening. This modality is usually the initial imaging method with chest and musculoskeletal systems, as it requires exposure to relatively less amount of ionizing radiation. However, projectional CR image provides limited information, and if there is accompanying clinical suspicion, further imag­ing is usually required.
CT is a multiplanar imaging method that pro­vides images in three planes with excellent detail, resolution, and three-dimensional reconstruc­tions. On the other hand, it requires exposure to larger doses of X-rays compared to CR, there­fore, it should be reserved for further imaging. This is the preferred modality for the imaging of thorax, abdomen, vascular structures, and bones. CT is commonly used in oncological imaging for the detection, staging of cancers as well as in the postoperative period for recurrence follow-up.
US is a radiation-free imaging method that uti­lizes high-frequency sound waves. They are com­monly and safely employed for screening and follow-up purposes. US is also frequently used as a guiding imaging modality for biopsies and mini­mally invasive treatments. US is frequently used for screening solid organs of the abdomen and supercial soft tissues, such as thyroid gland, supercial lymph nodes, breast, and testicles.
MRI is another radiation-free, multiplanar imaging method that utilizes radiofrequency waves. As it provides superior tissue contrast resolution, this modality is preferred for the imaging of the central nervous system, head and neck, breast, abdomen, and musculoskeletal sys­tem. Whole-body MRI is a popular technique in
the diagnosis screening and follow-up of malig­nancies in patients with hereditary cancer syn­drome due to high-resolution images acquired without exposure to ionizing radiation [710]. The basic whole-body MRI sequence is coronal short τ inversion recovery (STIR), in which the majority of lesions would appear bright (hyperin­tense) [9]. According to indications, axial T2-weighted, T1-weighted, diffusion-weighted, and postcontrast T1-weighted sequences can be added [11]. Many studies have reported that whole-body MRI imaging detects tumors with high sensitivity and specicity in patients with hereditary cancer syndromes [8, 12, 13].
Molecular and nuclear imaging plays an important role in assessing the extent of the dis­ease and in posttreatment follow-up. Nuclear and molecular imaging uses radioactive substances linked to compounds used by the body’s cells or compounds that attach to tumor cells. PET is an imaging method using uorodeoxyglucose (FDG), which is a radioactive glucose molecule that accumulates in the tumor. Like PET, radioac­tive substances are used in SPECT. In this method, specic tumors can be detected with antibodies that bind to radioactive substances.
Although CT and PET are very useful modali­ties in the diagnosis and follow-up of oncological diseases, repetitive imaging increases radiation exposure and the risk of cancer development, espe­cially in the pediatric patient group [14]. Therefore, US and MRI are the modalities that should be pre­ferred primarily in hereditary cancer syndromes.

Hereditary predisposition is seen in 5–10% of all breast cancers, and most of them are associated with genetic mutations of BRCA1 and BRCA2 [15] (Fig. 42.1). The cumulative cancer risk in BRCA mutation carriers is 72% for breast cancer

breast cancers are triple-negative (estrogen, pro­gesterone, and human epidermal growth factor 2 receptor-negative) [16]. Breast and ovarian can­cer risk increase are more prominent in BRCA1 carriers. Pancreatic, prostate, and other cancers risks are higher in BRCA2 carriers [19]. Prophylactic mastectomy may be able to reduce the risk of developing breast cancer by 95% in women who carry a BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutation. Moreover, bilateral prophylactic salpingo- oophorectomy in BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers may reduce ovarian cancer risk by about 80% [20]. ACS and ASCO screening guidelines for individuals with BRCA mutations are summarized in Table42.2 [21].
42.3.2 Li-Fraumeni Syndrome
Li-Fraumeni syndrome is an autosomal dominant disease caused by mutations in TP53 gene and characterized by the development of multiple tumors. In one analysis, the lifetime risk of devel­oping cancer in carriers was estimated to be 73% in men and approximately 100% in women [22]. The most common cancers in Li-Fraumeni syn­drome are sarcomas, brain tumors, breast can­cers, adrenocortical carcinomas, and leukemia [22]. The incidence of all sarcomas is increased,
except for Ewing sarcoma. Osteosarcoma is the most common sarcoma in Li-Fraumeni syndrome.
Adrenocortical carcinoma is seen in 10–14% of TP53 mutation carriers [23]. Moreover, the incidence of several brain tumors, including astrocytoma, medulloblastoma, ependymoma, and choroid plexus carcinoma, is increased in TP53 mutation carriers [24]. ACS and ASCO screening guidelines for patients with TP53 mutations are summarized in Table42.2 [11].
42.3.3 Cowden Syndrome
Cowden syndrome is an autosomal dominant dis­ease characterized by the development of multiple hamartomas and malignancies. It is caused by PTEN gene mutation. Risks of breast, colon, brain, endometrium, and thyroid malignancy are increased in Cowden syndrome [25]. Breast can­cer is the most common malignancy in Cowden syndrome [26]. In addition to breast cancer, the incidence of benign breast pathologies, such as broadenoma, brocystic changes, and ductal hyperplasia, is also increased [25]. Thyroid can­cers are the second most common malignancy in Cowden syndrome with papillary carcinoma being the most common type. The risk of benign pathol-

ogies, such as multinodular goiter, adenomas, and Hashimoto thyroiditis, is also increased. The inci­dence of papillary renal cell carcinoma, endome­trial cancers, and colorectal carcinoma is increased in Cowden syndrome [27]. NCCN and ASCO screening guidelines for patients with PTEN muta­tions are summarized in Table42.2 [28].
42.3.4 Lynch Syndrome
Hereditary colorectal cancer syndromes account for 5–10% of all colorectal cancers. Most heredi­tary colorectal cancer syndromes are hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal carcinoma (Lynch syn­drome) and familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). Lynch syndrome is caused by a mutation in a mismatch repair gene (MLH1, MSH2, MSH6) [
29]. Lynch syndrome is the most common
hereditary colorectal carcinoma syndrome [30]. Colorectal carcinomas occur at an early age in patients with Lynch syndrome (50% before the age of 50) and the risk of synchronous and meta­chronous cancers is increased [31]. In addition to colorectal carcinomas, the risks of endometrial cancer, ovarian carcinoma, small intestine and gastric adenocarcinoma, ureter and renal pelvis transitional cell carcinoma, and glioblastoma are increased [32]. Endometrial cancer is the most common extracolonic malignancy in Lynch syn­drome [33]. The US Multi-society Task Force on Colorectal Cancer and ASCO screening guide­lines for patients with Lynch syndrome are sum­marized in Table42.2 [30].
42.3.5 Familial Adenomatous
Polyposis
Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by the development of multiple colorectal adenomas and caused by APC gene mutation [34] (Fig.42.2). The lifetime risk of colorectal carci­noma is 100% in these patients [35]. Therefore, prophylactic proctocolectomy is essential [36]. The risks of extracolonic malignancy, such as papillary thyroid carcinoma, duodenal adenocar-

cinoma, brain tumors, hepatoblastoma, are also increased. Moreover, the incidence of osteoma, gastric fundic gland, and duodenal polyps and congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium are increased [ of Gastroenterology and ASCO guidelines for screening patients with APC mutations are sum­marized in Table42.2 [37].
42.3.6 Von Hippel-Lindau Disease
Von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL) is an autoso­mal dominant disease characterized by the devel­opment of many malignant and benign tumors and is caused by VHL gene mutation [38]. Central nervous system hemangioblastoma is the most common tumor in VHL and most commonly occurs in the retina, cerebellum, and spinal cord [39] (Fig.42.3). Endolymphatic sac tumor, clear cell renal cell carcinoma and renal cysts, pheo­chromocytomas, papillary cystadenoma of the epididymis, pancreatic cysts, serous cystade­noma, and neuroendocrine tumors of the pan­creas are other manifestations seen in VHL [4044] (Figs.42.3 and 42.4). ASCO screening guidelines for patients with VHL mutations are summarized in Table42.2 [45].

42.3.7 Tuberous Sclerosis
Tuberous sclerosis (TSC) is a neurocutaneous syndrome characterized by the development of multiple hamartomas, benign and malignant lesions, and caused by autosomal dominant TSC gene mutations [46]. The most common cutane­ous ndings are angiobromas and hypomela­notic macules. In the brain, cortical tubers, subependymal nodules, subependymal giant cell astrocytoma (SEGA), and dysplastic white mat­ter lesions can be encountered [47] (Fig.42.5). Seizures are seen in 80–90% of patients with TSC [48]. Multiple renal angiomyolipomas can be present in 80% of patients with TSC [49] (Fig. 42.5). The incidence of renal cell carci­noma is slightly increased (4%) [50]. Retinal hamartoma, pulmonary lymphangioleiomyoma­tosis, cardiac rhabdomyoma, sclerotic bone lesions, and hepatic angiomyolipoma are other lesions accompanying TSC [47] (Fig. 42.5). International Tuberous Sclerosis Complex Consensus Group and ASCO screening guide­lines for patients with TSC mutations are sum­marized in Table42.2 [51].
42.3.8 Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia
Type 1 (MEN1)
Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by the parathyroid gland, pancreas, and pituitary
gland tumors (Fig.
42.6). It is caused by MEN1
gene mutation [52]. Primary hyperparathyroid­ism is the most common abnormality (90–100%). Preoperative imaging allows a more focused sur­gical approach. Pancreatic and duodenal neuro­endocrine tumors are seen in 30–75% of MEN1 patients, and most of them are functional. Gastrinoma is the most common type, which may present with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome [53]. Pituitary tumors are seen in 30% of MEN1 patients, with prolactinoma being the most com­mon type. Carcinoids of thymus, bronchus, stom­ach, duodenum, and adrenal gland are other tumors associated with MEN1. Endocrine Society and ASCO screening guidelines for patients with MEN1 mutations are summarized in Table42.2 [54].
42.3.9 Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia
Type 2 (MEN2)
Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2) is divided into three groups: MEN2A, MEN2B, and familial medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). MTC is the most common malignancy seen in MEN2 syndrome. MEN2A is associated with MTC, pheochromocytoma, and parathyroid tumors. MEN2B is characterized by marfanoid appearance and development of MTC, mucosal neuroma, and intestinal ganglioneuromas. The gene associated with MEN2 is RET [55]. In MEN2 syndrome, MTCs usually present at an earlier age
