A 5-fold excess risk of nonmedullary thyroid cancer among close relatives of affected patients was detected in a population-based case-control study of thyroid cancer in Connecticut. The 2 familial cases with early onset and multiple foci suggest genetic susceptibility, whereas the 2 cases with late onset may be related to a common environmental exposure.
在康涅狄格州一项基于人群的甲状腺癌病例对照研究中,发现甲状腺癌患者的近亲患非髓样甲状腺癌的风险高出5倍。两例早发且多病灶的家族性病例提示存在遗传易感性,而两例晚发病例可能与共同的环境暴露有关。
