Cancer in twins: genetic and nongenetic familial risk factors.

Journal of the National Cancer Institute - 19 Feb 1997

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Familial clustering has been observed for cancers that occur at specific sites. Most findings, which leave little doubt about the involvement of a heritable (i.e., genetic) component in the development of some cancers, are based on data from "cancer-prone" families or interviews with subjects who have cancer. The study of twins should be of value in cancer epidemiology because twins either are...
