MANY forms of human cancer tend to occur in families.1Environmental causes of familial cancer often cannot be identified, and, by exclusion, a hereditary mechanism is postulated on the basis of pedigree analysis.

The cancer arose in 10 members (five men and five women) of three consecutive generations. The cancers produced symptoms in the proband and six relatives and was diagnosed in three other persons by screening of asymptomatic family members. The . . .
