Cancer in Jews: introduction and overview.

Familial cancer - 1 Jan 2004

Lynch Henry T, Rubinstein Wendy S, Locker Gershon Y

Abstract excerpt

This article is based upon a literature overview of cancer in Jews. It involves a comparison of variation in incidence and prevalence rates between Jews and non-Jews. However, the reader must exercise a certain amount of skepticism when considering secular changes in cancer incidence and prevalence and the public health implications of such cancer variation. Ashkenazi Jews have a lifetime CRC risk of 9--15%. This...
