Reported patterns of familial aggregation of head and neck cancer (HNC) vary greatly, with many studies hampered by the limited number of subjects.
Altogether 923 early-onset (≤40 years old) HNC probands, their first-degree relatives, spouses, and siblings' offspring were ascertained. Cumulative risk and standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) were estimated.
Of all early-onset HNC families, only 21 (2.3%) had familial HNC cancers at any age and less than five familial early onset HNC cancers among first-degree relatives. The cumulative risk of HNC for siblings by age 60 (0.52%) was at population level (0.33%). No increased familial risk of early-onset HNC could be discerned in family members (SIR 2.68, 95% CI 0.32-9.68 for first-degree relatives).
Our study indicates that the cumulative and relative familial risk of early-onset HNC is modest in the Finnish population and, at most, only a minor proportion of early-onset HNCs are due solely to inherited genetic mutations.
头颈部癌(HNC)家族聚集模式的报道差异很大,许多研究因样本量有限而受到阻碍。
共确定了923名早发型(≤40岁)HNC先证者、他们的一级亲属、配偶以及兄弟姐妹的后代。估计累积风险和标准化发病率比(SIR)。
在所有早发型HNC家族中,只有21个(2.3%)在任何年龄患有家族性HNC癌症,且一级亲属中家族性早发型HNC癌症少于5例。60岁时兄弟姐妹患HNC的累积风险(0.52%)处于人群水平(0.33%)。在家庭成员中未发现早发型HNC家族风险增加(一级亲属的SIR为2.68,95%CI为0.32 - 9.68)。
我们的研究表明,芬兰人群中早发型HNC的累积和相对家族风险适中,且至多只有一小部分早发型HNC完全归因于遗传基因突变。
