A cancer syndrome or family cancer syndrome is a genetic disorder in which inherited genetic mutations in one or more genes predisposes the affected individuals to the development of cancers and may also cause the early onset of these cancers. Although cancer syndromes exhibit an increased risk of cancer, the risk varies.
The man seated left is a Zuni with albinism. The Zuni people and other indigenous tribes of the American Southwest have a very high incidence of albinism.

"This leads to a good diagnostic feature with which to distinguish leucistic and albino individuals – the colour of the eye." [17] However, there are multiple forms of albinism – currently seven types recognised for humans – most of which do not result in red or pink pupils. [4] The term "partial albino" is sometimes used in the literature.

Critics have long argued that while studying the effects of Red Dye No. 3 in humans poses ethical and scientific challenges, its ban in cosmetics should have logically extended to the food supply.
Cancer cannot be treated by restricting food intake and so supposedly "starving" tumors. Rather, the health of people with cancer is best served by maintaining a healthy diet. [303] The common cold and the common flu are caused by viruses, not exposure to cold temperatures. However, low temperatures may somewhat weaken the immune system, and ...
People with cancer have an increased risk of blood clots in their veins which can be life-threatening. [206] The use of blood thinners such as heparin decrease the risk of blood clots but have not been shown to increase survival in people with cancer. [206] People who take blood thinners also have an increased risk of bleeding. [206]
