Inherited predisposition to early onset lung cancer according to histological type.

International journal of cancer - 10 Nov 2004

Li Xinjun, Hemminki Kari

Abstract excerpt

The role of hereditary factors in lung cancer is less well understood than in many other human neoplastic diseases. We used a nation-wide family dataset to search for evidence for a genetic predisposition in lung cancer. The Swedish Family-Cancer Database includes all Swedes born in 1932 and later (0- to 68-year-old offspring) with their parents, totaling over 10.2 million individuals. Cancer cases were retrieved...
