Secondary prevention

There are two major methods of secondary prevention in Fanconi anemia. These involve reducing the risk of development of secondary malignancies, such as acute myeloid leukemia.

  • Avoidance of radiation: Radiation can induce DNA damage in cells, and radiation can serve as a second-hit to a cell that is already predisposed to malignant transformation due to DNA repair defects. Patients with Fanconi anemia are advised to avoid radiation. This includes radiation for treatment of other conditions, such as lymphoma or breast cancer.
  • Avoidance of chemicals: Chemicals and carcinogens are induce cancer readily in patients with Fanconi anemia. If a patients with Fanconi anemia has another malignancy, caution should be exercised when determining the chemotherapeutic regimen, since this chemotherapy can cause cancer.[1][2]
