Genetic epidemiology of cancer: from families to heritable genes.

International journal of cancer - 10 Oct 2004

Hemminki Kari, Rawal Rajesh, Chen Bowang, Bermejo Justo Lorenzo

Abstract excerpt

A reliable determination of familial risks for cancer is important for clinical counseling, prevention and understanding cancer etiology. Family-based gene identification efforts may be targeted if the risks are well characterized and the mode of inheritance is identified. Medically verified data on familial risks have not been available for all types of cancer but they have become available through the use of...
