Pediatr Med Chir. 1981 Sep-Oct;3(5):397-8.
An on-going survey of cancer in siblings is described. So far, 29 families have been identified in which more than one child developed cancer. In two families the number of children with cancer was respectively 4 and 3, whereas it was 2 in the other 27 families. In 14 of the latter, the same cancer types developed in both siblings. The present report is meant to be an appeal addressed to Italian pediatricians and institutions involved in pediatric cancer aiming at collecting further cases of pediatric cancer in siblings.
