ABSTRACT
Comprehensive analyses of the association between a family history of lung cancer and lung cancer risk are limited, especially in the Korean population. We used baseline data from the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study, conducted between 2001 and 2013. This study enrolled 198,980 individuals. Lung cancer diagnoses and family histories were determined using questionnaires. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the effect of family history on the risk of lung cancer. Of 198,980 individuals, 6296 (3.2%) and 140 (0.1%) had a family history of lung cancer and lung cancer, respectively. Individuals with a family history of lung cancer in first-degree relatives (FDRs) had a higher risk of lung cancer development than those without (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 2.28, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.11-4.66). This was more pronounced in young individuals (<60 years) who had affected relatives diagnosed with lung cancer before the age of 60 years (aOR = 3.77, 95% CI = 1.19-11.88). In subgroup analyses, this association was more evident in women, never smokers, and young individuals. A family history of lung cancer, especially in FDRs, is a significant risk factor for lung cancer development in Korea.
