- Abstract
The authors discuss an article by J. L. Klosky and colleagues on the risk-taking behaviors among adolescent survivors of childhood cancer and their siblings. They comment on the study findings reported in Klosky and colleagues' article that showed that health behaviors among patients with cancer and cancer survivors may influence risk-taking behaviors such as tobacco and drug use. They also note that the study suggests similarity on risk behaviors among adolescents and those of their siblings.
