Table 1.

Adjusted weighted percentages of cancer reports with varying levels of consistency and site-specificity in relatives with a positive cancer history^*

Type of report**	Reports About All Relatives (N=2,657 reports)	Reports About First-degree Relatives (N=918 reports)	Reports About Second-degree Relatives (N=1,739 reports)
	% (95% C.I.)	% (95% C.I.)	% (95% C.I.)
Consistent with malignancy	97.7 (96.9–98.3)	95.3 (93.3–96.7)	98.9 (98.2–99.3)
well-defined site	79.0 (77.0–80.8)	86.6 (83.6–89.2)	75.0 (72.3–77.6)
unspecified site	10.1 (8.5–11.9)	2.1 (1.2–3.8)	14.2 (11.8–16.9)
ill-defined site	8.6 (7.5–9.9)	6.5 (4.8–8.7)	9.7 (8.2–11.4)
Not consistent with malignancy	1.3 (0.9–1.9)	2.9 (1.9–4.3)	0.4 (0.2–1.0)
Indeterminate	1.1 (0.7–1.7)	1.8 (0.9–3.8)	0.7 (0.4–1.2)

^*After identifying 2,408 relatives (781 first-degree and 1,627 second-degree) with a cancer history, the 1,019 respondents were asked to report the cancer type or where in the body the cancer started. All percentages of cancer reports are weighted to the Connecticut population and adjusted for differential selection probabilities, rates of non-response, and post-stratification.
