Familial Risks and Proportions Describing Population Landscape of Familial Cancer

Kari Hemminki et al.

Summary: This study analyzed data from the Swedish Family-Cancer Database to determine the frequency and increased risk for familial cancer, finding that almost all cancers showed a familial risk, with most risks being around two-fold due to family history. High-risk family history should be carefully considered for management, including targeted genetic testing, while medical and behavioral interventions are recommended for familial clustering with no feasible genetic testing.
