Malignant tumors in family members of colorectal cancer patients.
A case-control study comprised 286 colorectal cancer (CRC) patients and the same number of hospital controls individually matched by age, sex and place of residence. Both CRC and other malignant tumors were more frequent among first and second degree relatives of cases as compared to controls. The odds ratio (and 95% confidence interval) for CRC was 6.67 (2.34-19.01) and for cancers of other sites 1.6 (0.97-2.62).
