Excerpt from Contributions From the Pathological Laboratory, 1913-1914, Vol. 6 In my material of cases of neoplasm examined pathologically, there were cases of carcinoma. About one thousand of these gave fairly good family histories with the ages of the members. A smaller number (30 per cent.) gave detailed histories. From this number are taken the families which show multiple occurrence of carcinoma. In many of these all of the members of the family for three generations are given; in others, the records are incomplete. Four families give complete records of the descendants of the cancerous grandparent. The incidence of cancer in these families is so striking that it can be interpreted as showing an inherited susceptibility to cancer.
