Genes and Cancer
Cancer, a formidable adversary, can drastically affect the quality of life or even lead to its end. It's well-established that certain cancers, including breast, colorectal, ovarian, prostate, pancreatic, and endometrial cancers, may have a hereditary component. In these cases, a familial connection to cancer becomes more evident. Individuals with inherited mutations in well-recognized hereditary cancer genes face a significantly elevated risk of developing specific types of cancer.
