Some details are inevitably lost when attempting to simplify subjects involving complex medical genetics subjects. However, unless an attempt is made to distill such topics, busy clinicians who may only occasionally need access to these subjects may perceive the information to be inaccessible. With these considerations in mind, we have attempted to develop a clinically usable catalog of recognizable family cancer syndromes. Thirtyfive different syndromes are included (shown in Tables 1-3). Thereafter, the subjects are listed in alphabetical order. For each disorder, the following template was used:Keywords
