The primary objectives of this ongoing
research study are to utilize clinical, laboratory, and
epidemiologic approaches in studies of individuals and families at
high risk of cancer to identify and further characterize cancer
susceptibility factors. Respondents are members of families in
which multiple cancers are thought to have occurred. Information
about the occurrence of cancer is collected and reviewed to
determine eligibility for further etiologic study. Participation is
entirely voluntary. The findings will lead to a better
understanding of the causes and risks factors for selected
groups.
