Overview

There is a broad spectrum of hereditary cancer predisposition syndromes affecting pediatric population. Early genetic testing establishing the diagnosis may assist in patient dispensarisation and management. Secondary prevention and prompt diagnosis of cancer improves the prognosis and overall survival. A centralised dispensarisation of pediatric patients with hereditary cancer predisposition syndromes on pediatric oncology department offers complex multidisciplinary care to the patient and his family.

Key words:
hereditary cancer predisposition syndromes – dysmorphology – pediatric cancer – genetic testing

The author declares she has no potential conflicts of interest concerning drugs, products, or services used in the study.
