To investigate whether a history of hematolymphoproliferative cancers (HLP) and other cancers among a parent or sibling is a risk factor for specific subtypes of leukemia and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), data from a population-based case-control study, in Iowa and Minnesota, of 578 leukemia cases, 622 NHL cases and 1245 controls were evaluated. Having at least one sibling with HLP significantly increased the risk for all leukemias combined (odds ratio (OR) = 2.3) and for NHL (OR = 2.7). In particular, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) was significantly increased among those reporting a sibling with leukemia (OR = 3.0) or lymphoma (OR = 4.3). Elevated risks of small lymphocytic NHL (SML) (OR = 7.3) and diffuse NHL (DIF) (OR = 5.4) were also observed among subjects who had a sibling with lymphoma (primarily Hodgkin's disease). A significantly increased risk of follicular NHL was noted among those with a sibling history of pancreatic cancer (OR = 4.8) and colorectal cancer (OR = 2.7). Parental history of HLP was not associated with any type of leukemia or NHL. A history of stomach cancer among parents was associated with a 2-fold elevation of CLL and DIF compared to controls. Increased risks of CLL and DIF were also linked to breast cancer among sisters and mothers, respectively. Prostate cancer among fathers increased the risk 2-fold for CLL and 3-fold for SML. This study confirms some familial cancer associations previously reported for leukemia and NHL, and provides new information regarding the various subtypes of leukemia and NHL.

We determined risk of cancer among first-degree relatives of 5-year survivors of childhood leukemia, lymphoma, central nervous system tumors, sarcomas, Wilms' tumor, and neuroblastoma. Subjects were 13,703 participants in the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study. Family history was collected on 56,759 first-degree relatives using a self-reported questionnaire. Incidence was compared with age- and sex-specific rates using the U.S. Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results program. Siblings of the survivors had an increased risk of cancer [standardized incidence ratio (SIR), 1.5; 95% confidence interval (95% CI), 1.35-1.7]. Risk was elevated for siblings of probands of leukemia (SIR, 1.3; 95% CI, 1.0-1.6), Hodgkin's disease (SIR, 1.5; 95% CI, 1.2-1.9), non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (SIR, 1.8; 95% CI, 1.3-2.5), Wilms' tumor (SIR, 1.9; 95% CI, 1.2-3.2), soft tissue sarcoma (SIR, 1.5; 95% CI, 1.0-2.2), and bone tumors (SIR, 1.6; 95% CI, 1.2-2.2). Cancer risk was elevated in siblings (SIR, 2.4; 95% CI, 1.5-3.7) and offspring (SIR, 15.0; 95% CI, 5.3-42.9) of probands with second malignant neoplasms (SMN) compared with relatives of probands without SMNs. Siblings of probands with leukemia, Hodgkin's disease, neuroblastoma, and Wilms' tumor had elevated risks for the same malignancies. Parents had no increased risk (fathers' SIR, 0.7; 95% CI, 0.7-0.8; mothers' SIR, 0.9; 95% CI, 0.9-1.0). Seventy percent of siblings' cancers developed in adulthood. These findings suggest that familial cancer syndromes may be revealed as this cohort and family members age and with accrual of more offspring and subjects with SMNs.

The secondary development of malignant tumors after the treatment of Hodgkin's disease has been termed the price of success, but is relevant also to other types of cancer and gives an opportunity to study mechanisms of carcinogenesis and tumor induction. The authors review here their experience with second malignant neoplasms (SMN) as well as the result of an extensive search of the recent literature. The primary malignancies discussed in this article include Hodgkin's disease, pediatric cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer and other types of tumors. The international literature was searched (Medline 1989-1995) for reports of SMN with special emphasis on risk factors and the molecular mechanisms of tumor induction. In Hodgkin's disease, a 3 to 5-fold elevated risk for SMN was recognized, with a 15-year cumulative incidence in the range of 11-18%. All types of malignancies have a statistically increased risk (leukemias, non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, solid tumors). The risk for leukemia is related to the intensity of treatment with alkylating agents. Some solid tumors like lung cancer or breast cancer are related to radiation therapy. Present-day treatments may carry a lower risk of inducing secondary malignancies than treatments in the past. For non-Hodgkin's lymphoma as primary malignancy, fewer data exist on SMN. In pediatric cancer, no general risk estimate can be given and the genetic influence is greater as a cause of SMN. The improved prognosis for acute lymphoblastic leukemia has led to a changing pattern of pediatric SMN. In head and neck- and in lung cancer, the same etiologic factors which cause the primary tumor may also cause SMN. SMN occur as part of familial cancer syndromes. Two types of treatment related leukemias (mostly AMLs) exist and can be recognized by cytogenetic and molecular analysis. A complete follow-up is necessary to fully appreciate the risk of second malignancy. The goal to prevent SMN must be reached without decreasing the cure rates of the primary tumor. New treatment approaches need to be carefully monitored for SMN. Improved tests of mutagenesis and molecular screening may help to recognize patients prone to develop SMN and permit to estimate certain types of risk. Screening and prevention strategies are useful in high-risk situations.
