Background:
The National Lung Cancer Screening Trial found, after 6.5 years, a 20% reduction in LC mortality in high-risk patients (pts) screened with low-dose computed tomography compared to chest x-ray. However, LC screening programs (SP) result controversial due to potential cost-effectiveness issues. Familial LC aggregation (fLCa) has been described previously. The estimated relative risk of LC is ∼1.8 for offspring of parents with LC. Linkage analysis has mapped a dominant locus to chromosome 6 in LC pedigrees. Therefore, in this high-risk subpopulation, SP may have clear advantages. This is the first study to investigate the incidence of fLCa conducted in a sEp.
Methods:
Overall, 509 cancer pts of Spanish (n = 473) or Portuguese (n = 36) origin were included in the analysis. A cohort of 236 consecutive pts (cases) diagnosed with LC was studied for family history (FH) of any type of cancer including LC. Another cohort of 273 pts (controls) with similar demographic characteristics diagnosed with cancer types other than LC was also studied for FH of cancer. We investigated whether LC pts show a higher incidence of fLCa than subjects with other solid tumors.
Results:
Among LC pts with a positive FH for LC, 36.7% showed one of their parents as the only LC relative, 26.5% showed one or more siblings, 18.4% one or more either uncle or aunt, 6.1% their grandfather/grandmother and 12.2% other combinations. Regarding the number of relatives affected, in our LC cohort one relative was the most frequent finding with 42/49 pts (85.7%), 2 in 3 cases (6.2%) and > 3 relatives in 4 subjects (8.1%). We studied the overall incidence of any type of family cancer among cases and controls. No differences were found between groups (72.9% vs 67.4%; p = 0.18). However, in our cohort of LC cases, 49/236 pts (20.8%) had a FH of LC in first or second degree whereas among cancer controls only 29/273 pts (10.6%) showed a LC FH (p = 0.002).
Conclusion:
This is the first estimation of LC FH in a non-selected sEp with LC. 20.8% of LC cases showed a positive FH for LC, being significantly higher (twofold) compared to other cancer pts. Therefore, the usefulness of directed SP for subjects with positive FH of LC should be prospectively evaluated and potential genomic drivers studied.Table 1.
