TP53: Options for Cancer Treatment
Medical Decisions for People with an Inherited Mutation Diagnosed with Cancer
Currently there are no cancer treatments approved specifically for people with a mutation. However, guidelines do recommend that people with an inherited mutation minimize their radiation exposure, which increases the risk of a new cancer diagnosis. This includes avoiding radiation therapy for cancer treatment whenever possible. To learn more about standard of care treatment options for specific types of cancer, visit our section on Cancer Treatment by Cancer Type.
People with a cancer diagnosis and an inherited mutation may benefit from testing and may qualify for clinical trials looking for more effective treatments for cancer.
