It's possible! My friend's mother died of cancer, and now my friend must get screened every year to make sure she doesn't have it because she has a higher chance of getting it since her mother had it
OH WTH I DIDNT KNOW! I THOUGHT PPL ONLY GOT CANCER RANDOMLY OR FROM BEING NEAR THE SUN OR RADIATION
Rough explanation: There are certain genes that are connected to some cancers, where if you have it you are more likely to get it. It's why doctors ask if you have any family history of cancers. Example: moms can carry genes that are for prostate cancer, so women in the line aren't impacted but any of their sons may be.
It's hereditary as much as it can be random, too. Breast cancer and leukemia, I believe, are the most common.
How tf do u pass down genes for cancer
