[Plea for the family history...in the area of molecular oncology].

Revue medicale suisse - 18 May 2005

Chappuis Pierre O

Abstract excerpt

Oncological family history allows to estimate an empirical risk to develop malignant tumors. Nowadays family history is crucial to determine the indication to perform screening of cancer predisposing genes. Five to 10% of all cancers are the result of highly penetrant genes. Most of the genes responsible for familial cancer syndromes have been characterized. It is now feasible, by a simple blood sample, to detect...
