ABSTRACT
History of cancer among first degree relatives was obtained in 124 patients with bronchogenic carcinoma [probands] and 248 controls, and differences in familial aggregation evaluated by calculation of odds ratio [OR] and their 95 percent confidence intervals [95% CI]. Probands were more likely than controls to have relatives with cancers [OR 1.27, 95% CI 0.49-3.10], both among smokers and nonsmokers [OR 1.31, 95% CI 0.27-6.79 and OR 1.21, 95% CI 0.12-6.16 respectively]. Sisters of probands were particularly at a higher risk [OR 8.72, 95% CI 0.85-430.08]. A genetic component, possibly independent of smoking habits, may be important in the causation of lung cancer.
