Familial Risk and Heritability of Cancer Among Twins in Nordic Countries

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

In this long-term follow-up study among Nordic twins, there was significant excess familial risk for cancer overall and for specific types of cancer, including prostate, melanoma, breast, ovary, and uterus. This information about hereditary risks of cancers may be helpful in patient education and cancer risk counseling.
