Genetic Epidemiology--science and ethics on familial cancers.

Acta oncologica (Stockholm, Sweden) - 1 Jan 2001

Hemminki K

Abstract excerpt

Genetic epidemiology provides data on cancer etiology, familial risks and genotype-specific risks. These data are useful for clinical counselling and gene identification. The studies require large, unbiased sample sizes and collaboration between research teams, nationally and internationally. A recent study on Nordic twins suggests that in colorectal, breast and prostate cancer, the inherited component ranges...
