If they were brother and sister they probably grew up in the same house(s), ate the same food and so on for 20 years more or less. Too, how reliable/sophisticated is the genetic testing for various cancer indicators?

One of my high school classmates died of pancreatic cancer at about age 65. As far as I know he was never obese or smoked.
