Abstract
A 5-fold excess risk of nonmedullary thyroid cancer among close relatives of affected patients was detected in a population-based case-control study of thyroid cancer in Connecticut. The 2 familial cases with early onset and multiple foci suggest genetic susceptibility, whereas the 2 cases with late onset may be related to a common environmental exposure.Entities:
