Can a family history of cancer be inherited?

Family history of cancer may be inherited.

Cancer has a certain genetic nature. If there are cancer patients in the family, the probability of cancer in the offspring will be relatively high. Generally, it is related to inheriting some genes related to cancer or gene mutations. However, the occurrence of cancer is not only related to heredity, but also related to bad living habits, living environment, eating habits and other factors, such as irregular living habits, long-term polluted living environment, frequent consumption of pickled food, etc. Under normal circumstances, there is no absolute relationship with genetic inheritance, which is caused by acquired factors.
