Ethnic disparities in the frequency of cancer reported in family histories.

This study was designed to observe whether disparities exist between ethnicities in reporting a family history of cancer in a cancer genetic counseling clinic. Four hundred sixty-nine pedigrees collected between 2015 to 2017 from a cancer clinic at the University of California, Irvine, were analyzed. Pedigrees were separated by ethnicity into the following categories: non-Hispanic White, Hispanic, Asian, or Ashkenazi Jewish.
