Comprehension of etiologic factors in cancer requires precise recording of tumor histology, genealogy, medical history, and potential environmental carcinogens. With this approach and in a prospective and retrospective survey, two cancer-prone and two cancer-resistant families are described. Genetic factors, in cancer predisposition and in cancer resistance are hypothesized.
