Registration to attend the symposium will be open until 12:00 on Thursday 16th of May 2024.

In collaboration with Oxford Cancer, the George Pantziarka TP53 Trust and Li Fraumeni Network for Clinicians and Researchers (LiNCR) will be hosting a one-day face-to-face conference in Oxford on May 23rd 2024.

The aim is to bring together researchers and clinicians, from across the UK, who are working on LFS-related projects or service delivery. We aim to encourage collaboration and the sharing of results to benefit people with LFS, a community that continues to face very high unmet needs.

Programme:

The day will consist of three main sessions and presentations from a range of speakers. We will also feature flash talks in each session. (please see below guidance if you are interested in submitting a flash talk) There will also be an opportunity to display a poster, please register your interest upon registration if you are interested in bringing one along. (please see below guidance if you are interested in submitting a poster)

Overview:

The last few years have seen a significant increase in UK research activity that is directly relevant to people with Li Fraumeni Syndrome (LFS). There is now real momentum in both the number and range of projects and studies that involve imaging, liquid biopsies, tissue sampling and so on. In parallel there have also been improvements in health services delivery to people with LFS, particularly with respect to the provision of annual whole-body MRI, although access issues remain a significant problem for many.

As representatives of the LFS community, the George Pantziarka TP53 Trust has created an informal network of researchers and clinicians working in this area. The aims of the Li Fraumeni Network for Clinicians and Researchers (LiNCR – pronounced linker), is to provide a forum for the exchange of information, sharing of ideas, increasing cooperation, and supporting and encouraging further research. It will also facilitate the further involvement of the LFS community in research, including support for grant applications, production of PPI materials, recruitment for studies and other forms of direct patient engagement.
