The world lost another incredible person today. Thank you Dr Fraumeni for all you’ve given to the world and the LFS community. As a patient to have met 1/2 of the namesake of this condition I am grateful. With love from my family to yours. Chiquita

The LFSA mourns the loss of Dr. Joseph F. Fraumeni, Jr. (1933 - 2026), one of the world’s premier cancer epidemiologists. His remarkable and vast contributions have forever shaped cancer research worldwide and his role in founding LFSA was pivotal for advocacy and patient support.
