Abstract

Background: Reported patterns of familial aggregation of head and neck cancer (HNC) vary greatly, with many studies hampered by the limited number of subjects.

Methods: Altogether 923 early‐onset (≤40 years old) HNC probands, their first‐degree relatives, spouses, and siblings’ offspring were ascertained. Cumulative risk and standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) were estimated.

Results: Of all early‐onset HNC families, only 21 (2.3%) had familial HNC cancers at any age and less than five familial early onset HNC cancers among first‐degree relatives. The cumulative risk of HNC for siblings by age 60 (0.52%) was at population level (0.33%). No increased familial risk of early‐onset HNC could be discerned in family members (SIR 2.68, 95% CI 0.32‐9.68 for first‐degree relatives).

Conclusions: Our study indicates that the cumulative and relative familial risk of early‐onset HNC is modest in the Finnish population and, at most, only a minor proportion of early‐onset HNCs are due solely to inherited genetic mutations.
