}STUDY OBJECTIVES
To clarify the possibility of a hereditary predisposition to lung cancer, we investigated the association between a family history of lung cancer and subsequent risk of lung cancer in a large-scale, population-based cohort study.
DESIGN
We investigated 102,255 middle-aged and older Japanese subjects (48,834 men and 53,421 women) with 13-year follow-up. A total of 791 cases of lung cancer were newly diagnosed during the follow-up period.
RESULTS
A family history of lung…

Family history of cancer among first-degree relatives of patients with lung cancer and controls from the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, and United Kingdom and a meta-analysis of 41 studies found that FH of lung cancer is a predictor of an increased risk of Lung cancer, especially in subjects aged less than 50.

The results suggest that inherited genetic susceptibility may contribute to the development of lung cancer in men, as shared exposure to environmental factors among siblings may also be responsible for the increase in lung cancer risk.

In the forecasting model, smokers especially heavy ones whose risk were more than 10 times to the Chinese population should be receive annual screening and the more infected individuals exist in first-degree relatives, the more risk was showed.

It is suggested that a large proportion of lung cancers before age 50 years appears to be heritable and probably due to a high‐penetrant recessive gene or genes that predispose to tobacco carcinogens; however, this hypothesis needs to be tested in segregation analysis with a large number of pedigrees.

Women were more likely to be never-smokers than men, particularly those with the squamous/epidermoid-type cancer, and the earlier finding that the ORs for major lung cancer types are consistently higher for women than for men at every level of exposure to cigarette smoke was confirmed.
