How to figure out if i am going to develop cancer?

Tough : There is no test that you can take that tells you definitively if you are going to develop cancer at some point, and if so what type. As for genetic testing, if appropriate based on your family history, when a gene mutation is identified, you would know percentages of risk for individual cancers more accurately.
