While these tumors are often benign, their presence in small spaces can cause serious side effects and health risks as they grow. In this episode, Dr. John Slopis describes MD Anderson's comprehensive neurofibromatosis program and explains how the research being done there is providing information about cancer.

Review of neurofibromatosis for radiology board exams. In this first of two episodes on NF, I review the differences between neurofibromatosis types 1 and type 2.

Recorded during the 2021 Neurofibromatosis iNFo Fair presented by NF Midwest, Texas NF, NF Northeast, and the Littlest Tumor Foundation.
Carlos Romo, MD and Anna Piotrowski, MD, present other considerations that were not discussed previously in the day that pertain especially to adults with neurofibromatosis type 1. For instance, high blood pressure, pheochromocytomas, GISTs, depression, and more. #endnf

SpringWorks is a biopharmaceutical company whose mission is to develop life-changing medicines for patients with severe rare diseases and cancer. They are conducting a Phase 2b clinical trial (the “ReNeu trial”) with their investigational MEK inhibitor called mirdametinib in children and adults with NF1-associated plexiform neurofibromas (NF1-PN). During the webinar, people will learn about the differences between NF1 and NF2, what plexiform neurofibromas are, and more about mirdametinib and the ReNeu trial. Speakers include Dr. Mary Smith, Chief Development Officer of SpringWorks and members of her team who are responsible for helping to conduct the ReNeu trial.

Annette Bakker, President and Chief Scientific Officer of the Children's Tumor Foundation, discusses neurofibromatosis (NF), a genetic disorder that affects 1 in every 3,000 people.

There are three types of NF: NF1, NF2, and schwannomatosis. Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), formerly known as von Recklinghausen NF or Peripheral NF, is the most common of the three types of neurofibromatosis, and is also one of the most common inherited neurological disorders, affecting about 1 in 3,000 people throughout the world. The disorder is characterized by multiple café au lait (light brown) skin spots and neurofibromas (small benign growths) on or under the skin, and/or freckling in the armpits or groin. About 50% of people with NF1 also have learning challenges. Softening and curving of bones, and curvature of the spine (scoliosis) may occur in some patients with NF1. Occasionally, tumors may develop in the brain, on cranial nerves, or on the spinal cord. While NF tumors are generally not cancerous, they may cause health problems by pressing on nearby body tissue. Sometimes a benign tumor may become malignant (cancerous), but most people with NF1 will never develop a malignant tumor. NF1 is usually diagnosed in childhood.
