It is recommended to conduct annual physical and dermatologic exams, thyroid and renal imaging, colon cancer screening, and breast exams. Risk-reducing mastectomies and hysterectomies are discussed if indicated. Patients should be educated on cancer signs and symptoms, menstrual cycle awareness, and the importance of reporting any abnormalities.
