Abstract :

Background: A number of studies have investigated familial east cancer in India, however, these studies have only been done in few states across India. Due to cultural and socioeconomic differences, particularly intra–caste marriage that varies among Indian states as well as environmental, nutritional, and lifestyle factors, it is imperative to assess the impact of familial east cancer incidences in each and every state in the country. Our study investigated the familial east cancer cases in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India where there are a large number of intra–caste marriages.
