| Popis: |
In a series of 467 patients treated for mammary carcinoma 96 (20%) had a family history for this tumour. Sixty-eight (71%) had at least one first degree, 28 (29%) a second or third degree family member. Only the mean age of the second degree relative group differed significantly from that of the non-familial group. The size of the primary tumour at first presentation did not differ significantly in the familial and non-familial group, as the estimated survival. So patients with a family history for mammary carcinoma did not present themselves in an earlier stage of disease. Because of the higher risk of developing this type of tumour in female relatives we have to instruct this potential patient group more explicitly. |
