Can cancer run through families?

I don’t know if this is a stupid question or not, but quite a few of my family members have had or died from cancer, and I am quite worried if I might get it. Does it run through families?

Answer #1

yes it does run throught your family…my bestfriends grandmother and mother had it and now shes telling me she proably will to so yes…

Answer #2

Yeah cancer is usually a genetic disease. See if you can see a doctor to get checked out somehow, and find if you do have cancer, sometimes they might not detect anything until its contrentrated or detectable unfortunatly…

Answer #3

yes but it might skip and go to the next generation

Answer #4

Cancer is not a ‘genetic disease’. However, yes, having a family history increases your chances of getting cancer.
