Familial brain tumours—genetics or environment? A nationwide cohort study of cancer risk in spouses and first‐degree relatives of brain tumour patients

14 May 2003

Abstract excerpt

Our study investigated whether the familial aggregation of glioma is due to environmental or genetic effects and it investigated and compared the risk to spouses and first-degree relatives (FDR) of patients with primary brain tumours (PBT) for developing both PBT and the risk for other types of cancer. All PBT patients identified in Sweden from 1958-97 in The Swedish Cancer Registry (SCR) were linked to the...
