摘要:: All the oral cancer patients registered at the Regional Cancer Centre, Trivandrum, during January to July 1995 were subjected to detailed pedigree analysis. This revealed that oral cancer tends to aggregate in families. Like other familial cancers, a family history of oral cancer was associated mostly with an early age of onset of the disease. Family members without habits such as tobacco chewing, smoking or alcohol consumption were also affected. These observations prompt us to suggest the probable inheritance of an oral cancer susceptibility gene in these families. The familial aggregation, mostly site-specific, with an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance, was observed in 0.94% of the total oral cancers. This necessitates the need to undertake studies to elucidate the molecular lesions responsible for oral cancer susceptibility in families.
