AbstractObjectives: To explore the cancer risk perception and prevention behaviour among relatives of advanced cancer patients and the role of the family physicians in caring for them. Design: Qualitative study - structured focus group interviews with relatives of advanced cancer patients. Subjects: 19 relatives of advanced cancer patients. Main outcome measures: Views on cancer risk and health seeking behaviour. Results: Relat i ves of advanced cancer pat ient s perceived themselves as having a higher cancer risk. They were henceforth more health conscious and wished to have health checks for cancer prevention. They also wished to seek more information on cancer risk, especially from health care professionals. However there were barriers in getting such information from doctors. Conclusion: Relatives of advanced cancer patients need more reliable information on cancer risk and prevention. Family physicians, with emphasis on holistic and preventive care, are capable of meeting such needs. Further study is needed to explore the view of family physicians.
