Abstract
With increasing in number of cancer patients , the family with cancer patients also tends to increase. However, there are many families actually have a needless worry about cancer family or not. By providing correct information, the person suffering from familial tumors can be early diagnosed and treated. We tried to conduct a survey about familial tumors against obstetrician and gynecologists in Iwate Prefecture. Obstetricians, to some extent, understand about familial tumors, on the other hand, it was found that they are anxious about specifically describing for familial tumors. They said,“We have no confidence in the knowledge of Clinical Genetics”,“It is difficult to mention about the family of cancer patients in time”, “We can diagnose and treat for cancer patients without the knowledge of Clinical Genetics.”By adding to medical care of familial tumors, it is possible to eliminate the excessive worry of the family, and to pick up the person with high genetic risk. Enlightenment of knowledge about familial tumors is the most important issue.
