The symptoms include unexplained weight loss, loss of appetite, aches, unexplainable pains, lumps or swellings, change in vision and headache. The causes are primarily due to the mutation in the TP53 gene, which leads to other mild forms of cancer and hence cause LFS. The treatments includes chemotherapy and surgery based upon the type.
