	30. 141 Accesses	Research Cancer and Lhermitte-Duclos disease are common in Cowden syndrome patients Douglas L Riegert-Johnson, Ferga C Gleeson, Maegan Roberts, Krysta Tholen, Lauren Youngborg, Melvin Bullock, Lisa A Boardman Hereditary Cancer in Clinical Practice 2010, 8:6 (17 June 2010) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Cited on BioMed Central \| Editor’s summary In this study from the Mayo clinic, a total of 211 Cowden syndrome patients were included. The cumulative lifetime risks were 89% for any cancer diagnosis, breast cancer [female] 81%, Lhermitte-Duclos disease 32%, thyroid cancer 21%, endometrial cancer 19%, and renal cancer 15%. A previously unreported increased lifetime risk for colorectal cancer was identified (16%, 95% CI = 8%-24%). Male CS patients had fewer cancers diagnosed than female patients and often had cancers not classically associated with CS. Seven percent of breast and thyroid cancers occurred in patients who were younger than the recommended age to commence radiographic cancer screening!

	33. 130 Accesses	Case report Primary appendiceal mucinous adenocarcinoma in two first-degree relatives: case report and review Adrianne R Racek, Kari G Rabe, Myra J Wick, Apostolos Psychogios, Noralane M Lindor Hereditary Cancer in Clinical Practice 2011, 9:1 (4 May 2011) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary Published accounts of familial instances of primary appendiceal tumors are strikingly rare. The authors report two siblings who both developed primary mucinous adenocarcinomas, and found one additional affected sib-pair among 316 cases of primary appendiceal cancer of any histologic type recorded in the Mayo clinic. Although these cases may be coincidental, an exceedingly rare predisposition syndrome cannot be ruled out.
	34. 129 Accesses	Research Factors Influencing Cancer Risk Perception in High Risk Populations: A Systematic Review Jon C Tilburt, Katherine M James, Pamela S Sinicrope, David T Eton, Brian A Costello, Jantey Carey, Melanie A Lane, Shawna L Ehlers, Patricia J Erwin, Katherine E Nowakowski, Mohammad H Murad Hereditary Cancer in Clinical Practice 2011, 9:2 (19 May 2011) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Cited on BioMed Central \| Editor’s summary Patients at higher than average risk of heritable cancer may process risk information differently than the general population. However, little is known about clinical, demographic, or psychosocial predictors that may impact risk perception in these groups. The authors from the Mayo clinic searched literature databases for published research on these topics. Family history of cancer, previous prophylactic tests and treatments, and younger age have been shown to be associated with cancer risk perception. In addition, beliefs about the preventability and severity of cancer, personality factors such as "monitoring" personality, the ability to process numerical information, as well as distress/worry also were associated with cancer risk perception. Few studies addressed non-breast cancer or risk perception in specific demographic groups (e.g. elderly or minority groups) and few employed theory-driven analytic strategies to decipher interrelationships of factors. Clearly, there is need for additional studies.
