Abstract
A profile of the woman most likely to develop breast cancer on a hereditary basis is beginning to emerge from a long-range study of families having two or more members with the disease. Of great potential value for early detection, the study has shown that there are at least two distinct familial types, marked by significant differences in age of onset, incidence of bilaterality, and ABO blood groups.Keywords
