Astute physicians play an important role in the detection of cancer causes. Their most powerful tool is the family history. It permits the identification of families with unusual cancer clusters. The members of such families can be recruited for research in prevention and molecular genetics. The potential of research in medical practice should be exploited more extensively in the future.
