  Evaluation Summary:

  This is a large population based study examining the familial risks of cancer in a California population limiting the analysis to cancers occurring under the age of 30. The work has found that risk of cancer is increased if a person has a first degree relative with cancer. Increased familial risk of cancer to first (and second) degree relatives is long established, but this is a large source of data and it is nonetheless valuable to have this published. They have been able to look specifically at Latino risks as this is a common ethnic group in California.
