Estimating disease risks for individuals with a given family history in different populations with an application to breast cancer.

Genetic epidemiology - 1 Jan 1996

Becher H, Chang-Claude J

Abstract excerpt

For many chronic diseases, including most of the common cancers, a family history is known to be a strong independent risk factor. For breast cancer, estimation of risk as a function of family history is considered to provide useful risk assessment for women with a family history of breast cancer. Detailed tables that predict the cumulative risk of breast cancer at specific ages based on various combinations of...
