Three members of a family have presented in adult life with a succession of invasive malignancies. No known premalignant condition has been apparent in this group, and a limited study of immune competence has failed to reveal any abnormality. In spite of this there is strong evidence to suggest a so far undetected immunogenetic abnormality as the basis of this phenomenon.
