Familial Cancer provides a forum bringing these topics together, focusing on the interests and needs of the clinician.The journal concentrates on clinical cancer genetics. Most major areas in the field are included, such as epidemiology of familial cancer, molecular analysis and diagnosis, clinical expression, treatment and prevention, counseling and the health economics of familial cancer.
