a

Percent of total patients with risk assessment (500)

b

High risk cluster includes ≥3 cases of (in one lineage): bladder, brain, endometrial, esophageal, kidney, lung, mouth or throat, multiple myeloma, pancreatic, sarcoma, other skin cancer, testicular, hematological malignancies (in first or second degree relatives)

c

A category created for participants reporting genetic testing results and/or a known hereditary cancer syndrome which would place subject in high risk category regardless of family history

d

Polyposis defined as a moderate risk category (modification to existing criteria)
