The familial trend of prostate carcinoma has been highlighted by a number of important studies in which the authors underlined the increased risk that brothers and sons of patients with this disease might be affected by prostate carcinoma. These studies also underline the importance of two significant risk factors in determining the presence of disease: early onset and number of relatives already affected. In this anamnestic-type survey of two sample groups, one with prostate carcinoma and the other a control group, the authors attempt to make a general confirmation of the assertions made by other authors. Even if based on a relatively small series of patients, the results of this study are fully comparable to those reported by other authors.
多项重要研究凸显了前列腺癌的家族性趋势，这些研究的作者强调，患有这种疾病的患者的兄弟和儿子受前列腺癌影响的风险增加。这些研究还强调了两个重要风险因素在确定疾病存在方面的重要性：发病早和已患病亲属的数量。在对两个样本组（一组为前列腺癌患者，另一组为对照组）进行的这种回顾性调查中，作者试图对其他作者的论断进行全面验证。即使基于相对较少的患者系列，本研究的结果也与其他作者报告的结果完全可比。
