MAIN MEASURES: Familial cancer risk was estimated based on the number of
first-degree relatives with a breast and ovarian cancer syndrome
(BRCA)- or a Lynch-associated cancer, age of onset (<50 or >/=50
years), and personal history of any cancer.
CONCLUSIONS: These nationally representative data provide estimates of
the prevalence of familial cancer risk in the US and suggest that
information about genetic testing is not reaching many at higher risk of
inherited cancer.
