Brief Summary:
This study is aimed at exploring the use of whole body MRI for early cancer detection in TP53 mutation carriers and population controls, with the hypothesis that more cancers will be detected in the TP53 mutation carrier group. A secondary end-point will be the number of incidental findings detected and subsequent investigations required. A series of questionnaires will be used to assess the psychological impact of screening on both the study and control group.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Groups and Cohorts Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Diagnosis of malignant disease [ Time Frame: Within 12 months of MRI scan ]
    Following MRI scan further investigations may be required to diagnose malignancy


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Diagnosis of relevant non-malignant disease [ Time Frame: 12 months following MRI scan ]
    Further investigations may be required following the MRI to characterise such findings.

  2. Diagnosis of non-relevant disease, number and type of investigations required [ Time Frame: 12 months following MRI ]
  3. Psychological impact of MRI screening [ Time Frame: 12 months following MRI screening ]
    Psychological questionnaires to be completed at intervals up till 12 months post scan
