The cancer can run in families?.
If it seems cancer is rampant in your family, you can be more susceptible to cancer, inherited. However, it is important to put that risk in perspective. Of the estimated 1,000,000 new cases of cancer are diagnosed annually. So far, only five to 10% and is considered hereditary. Moreover, the presence of a genetic predisposition does not mean you will get cancer. In many cases, you can reduce your risk by making the right decisions about diet and exercise, and tobacco use.
A detailed family medical history can help the doctor determine if you are prone to inherited cancers. The indicators could include the development of cancer from 10 to 20 years earlier from cancer random; one that strikes at the bilateral level, as is the case in both breasts or in two different locations in a single device; two or more than one generation who have the same type of cancer; particular tumor site combinations seen within the family, especially breast cancer, ovarian, colon and uterus.
