The Basel Familial Cancer Study was established in 1982. Data collection and statistical analysis suggest that genetic mechanisms play an important role in most cancer types. This is illustrated in breast and colorectal cancer patients whose first degree relatives were studied. The establishment of a familial cancer registry is most helpful for cancer risk determinations, surveillance and management programmes, identification of new cancer prone genotypes and etiological family studies. The family history should be included into future cancer control activities.
巴塞尔家族性癌症研究始于1982年。数据收集和统计分析表明，遗传机制在大多数癌症类型中起着重要作用。这在对乳腺癌和结直肠癌患者及其一级亲属的研究中得到了体现。建立家族性癌症登记册对癌症风险评估、监测和管理计划、识别新的癌症易感基因型以及病因学家族研究非常有帮助。家族病史应纳入未来的癌症控制活动中。
