Abstract

Study was made of a kindred with a strong history of carcinoma of the colon. Twenty‐three family members were screened for the tumor with carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) assay, barium enema, and proctoscopy; one occult colon cancer was diagnosed. Identification and surveillance of families at high risk of cancer can provide unusual opportunities for early tumor detection. Copyright © 1976 American Cancer Society
