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 specic
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
supercial soft tissues, such as thyroid gland,
supercial 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 [7–10].
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 specicity 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, specic 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.

and 44% for ovarian cancer in BRCA1 and 69%
for breast cancer and 17% for ovarian cancer in
BRCA2 [16]. In most series, BRCA2-associated
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 do not differ from sporadic breast
cancers in terms of phenotype and behavior [17].
BRCA1-associated breast cancers are generally
high grade, poorly differentiated, inltrating ductal carcinomas [18]. Most BRCA1-associated

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 Table42.2 [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 Table42.2 [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 Table42.2 [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 Table42.2 [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-

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 Table42.2 [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
[40–44] (Figs.42.3 and 42.4). ASCO screening
guidelines for patients with VHL mutations are
summarized in Table42.2 [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 angiobromas 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 Table42.2 [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
Table42.2 [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
