Family medical history
When a doctor asks whether a parent or grandparent had cancer, diabetes, heart disease, or another condition, having a family history can help you answer. Record what you know and ask relatives for details when appropriate.
How should I use this information?
Include which relative had the condition, approximate age at diagnosis, and any useful details. Unknown is an acceptable answer. This information may help your clinician assess risks, but does not establish a diagnosis. Do not include Social Security numbers or medical record attachments.
