Cancer is a fairly common disease, in most cases doctors cannot predict its development.
However, as they say researchers, some people have a genetic predisposition to certain types of cancer. That is why, when cancer is suspected and examined, doctors always ask patients if their relatives have been diagnosed with oncology?
Indeed, in medicine there are so-called cancer families, where several generations are diagnosed with oncology.This happens when a broken copy of a gene is passed on to a parent from a child. This mutation may someday develop into a tumor in a particular organ. But this does not mean that cancer is inherited, it is important to understand that a child can only get a predisposition to such a disease, i.e. higher odds.
The American Cancer Association reminds that only 5-10 tumors in the world are due to genetic predisposition, the rest (up to 95%) are associated with environmental factors and lifestyle person.
