Abstract
Description
The incidence of cancer varies with age, race, geographic factors,
and genetic backgrounds. Cancers are most common at the two
extremes of age. The geographic variation results mostly from
different environmental exposures. hereditary cancers may be
autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive. The former usually
are linked to inheritance of a germ line mutation of cancer
suppressor genes, whereas the latter typically are associated
with inherited defects in DNA repair.
