Probably Not.: Neither of these cancers is likely to be hereditary. Chances are you will not die from either of these diseases or even cancer. The CDC / MMWR publishes good stats on this at "10 Leading Causes of Death" on the CDC.gov website. For the next thirty years you should focus on avoiding violence an preventing accidents while maintaining a healthy weight eating a good diet and exercising regularly.
