Abstract
We agree with Hemminki et al1 that family history information can be used to identify individuals at both hereditary and familial cancer risk. We also agree that, in general, the percentage of any cancer type attributed to a familial form of cancer will be greater than the percentage that is likely hereditary. Hemminki et al point out that genetic testing is not yet available for those at familial risk.
