For specific cancer as SPC, the reference group is the general population in the database had neither a family history of SPC nor BC (except for risk estimation of second BC), which is used to calculate the incidence of this specific cancer as first primary cancer.

UAT, upper aerodigestive tract; SCC, squamous cell carcinoma; CUP, cancer of unknown primary.

Bolding, italic and underlining indicate that the 95%CI, 99%CI and 99.9%CI did not overlap with 1.00 respectively.

a

12 of the 112 cases had only family history of in situ colorectal cancer.

b

100 of the 1909 cases had only family history of in situ BC.

c

41 of the 79 cases had only family history of in situ skin cancer.

d

Breast cancer is included into all cancers.

e

Breast cancer is excluded from all cancers.
