]]> FARF Scientific Director, Isis Sroka, talks about the newly developed Fanconi Anemia Cancer Consortium (FACC). This talk will provide an overview of the FACC, which represents a collaborative group of investigators, along with their academic medical centers, the National Institutes of Health, patient advocacy groups (PAGs), and patients affected by Fanconi anemia (FA). The FACC was established to create a collaborative partnership between the FA community and a network of expert FA clinicians and physician scientists who have expertise and experience in the diagnosis and management of FA cancers and FA cancer research. The FACC aims to streamline cancer care decision-making processes for patients with FA through evidence-based research.

Presented at the 2022 Retreat for Adults with FA in Austin, Texas.

La Directora Científica de la FARF, Isis Sroka, habla sobre el recién creado Consorcio de Cáncer de Anemia de Fanconi (FACC). Esta charla proporcionará una visión general del FACC, que representa un grupo de colaboración de investigadores, junto con sus centros médicos académicos, los Institutos Nacionales de Salud, los grupos de defensa de los pacientes (PAG) y los pacientes afectados por la anemia de Fanconi (FA). El FACC se estableció para crear una asociación de colaboración entre la comunidad de FA y una red de médicos clínicos y científicos expertos en FA que tienen conocimientos y experiencia en el diagnóstico y el tratamiento de los cánceres de FA y en la investigación del cáncer de FA. El FACC tiene como objetivo agilizar los procesos de toma de decisiones sobre el cuidado del cáncer para los pacientes con FA a través de la investigación basada en la evidencia.

]]> Neelam Giri and Sharon Savage’s talk will cover a brief description of the protocol to prospectively evaluate and follow patients with FA at high risk of SCC with screening at regular intervals. This study incorporates oral brush biopsy with diagnostic cytology and DNA cytometry for oral cancer surveillance utilizing standard operating procedures and teaching materials developed by the FABB team. The protocol also includes regular screening for esophageal and anogenital cancers. This study is part of the FA cancer consortium and has a strong collaborative component. In addition to streamlining cancer surveillance for patients with FA, the study includes collection and sharing of biospecimen for identification of predictive biomarkers of cancer development to facilitate the advancement of preventive therapies. Our central goal is to establish a framework for cancer screening, prevention, and therapeutic trials for FA through collaboration and sharing of research resources to reduce the burden of cancer in FA.

La charla de Neelam Giri y Sharon Savage abarcará una breve descripción del protocolo para evaluar y seguir prospectivamente a los pacientes con AF de alto riesgo de CCE con cribado a intervalos regulares. Este estudio incorpora la biopsia por cepillado oral con citología diagnóstica y citometría de ADN para la vigilancia del cáncer oral utilizando procedimientos operativos estándar y materiales didácticos desarrollados por el equipo de FABB. El protocolo también incluye el cribado regular del cáncer esofágico y anogenital. Este estudio forma parte del consorcio del cáncer de AF y tiene un fuerte componente de colaboración. Además de agilizar la vigilancia del cáncer para los pacientes con FA, el estudio incluye la recogida y el intercambio de muestras biológicas para la identificación de biomarcadores predictivos del desarrollo del cáncer para facilitar el avance de las terapias preventivas. Nuestro objetivo central es establecer un marco para el cribado del cáncer, la prevención y los ensayos terapéuticos para la FA a través de la colaboración y el intercambio de recursos de investigación para reducir la carga del cáncer en la FA.
