Familial Cancer
Familial cancer is a type of cancer that is caused by certain inherited genetic mutations, which can increase the risk of certain cancers in some families. Many types of cancer, such as breast, colon, and ovarian cancer, can be caused by inherited genetic mutations. The identification of these genetic mutations can help predict a person's risk for developing cancer, and can provide opportunities for early cancer screening and preventive measures. By taking advantage of this knowledge, individuals and their families can take steps to reduce their risk of cancer or detect it early.
