This monograph contains the contributions of a seminar on familial cancer. All types of cancer show a tendency to aggregate in families. Cancer families can be identified by taking a family history in cancer patients. This method is useful for detecting cancer genes and determining which persons carry a high risk for cancer and who may thus benefit frompreventive measures such as screening and chemoprevention.
