Prevalence of hereditary cancer susceptibility syndromes in children with cancer in a highly consanguineous population
2018, Cancer EpidemiologyCitation Excerpt :Therefore, healthcare providers rely on self-reported family history of cancer in the clinical setting. Despite its limitations, self-reports of family history of cancer have been shown to be generally reliable in a number of studies, particularly in first- and second-degree relatives with 70–90% sensitivity [33,38–44]. Self-reporting of family history of cancer in less developed country settings has been recently reported as a reliable and useful tool for identification of individuals at risk of hereditary cancer predisposition syndromes [38].
Polymorphisms in HPV E6/E7 protein interacted genes and risk of cervical cancer in Chinese women: A case-control analysis
2009, Gynecologic OncologyCitation Excerpt :Thirdly, we obtained the information on family history of cancer in first relatives by self-reporting, which might have resulted in diagnostic suspicion bias. However, some studies showed that there was high accuracy for reporting family history of cancer in first-degree relatives [28–30], and the accuracy seemed comparable between cancer cases and controls [30], which indicate that self-reporting is a good way for identifying family cancer history in first-degree relatives. Finally, this was a hospital-based case-control study, using the cases from hospitals and the controls from a screening program for non-infectious diseases without HPV infection information.
The association of family history of liver cancer with hepatocellular carcinoma: A case-control study in the United States
2009, Journal of HepatologyCitation Excerpt :No proxy interviews were conducted. The interviewers used a structured and a validated questionnaire [16,17] to collect information on demographic features, family history of cancer, and risk factors of HCC (25–30 min interview). Cases and controls were blinded for the current study hypothesis.
The Accuracy of Cancer Diagnoses as Reported in Families with Head and Neck Cancer: a Case-Control Study
2008, Clinical OncologyCitation Excerpt :First, the accuracy of whether relatives had cancer or not and second if the cancer occurred within the head and neck region. There is clear evidence that recall is most accurate for cases of cancer within first-degree relatives [8–10] and hence this study was restricted to first-degree relatives. The issue of whether cancers occurred in the head and neck region is an area that can have a degree of inaccuracy.
