A member asked:
How will i know if my mom's malignant tumors are genetically related?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Talk to doc: Contrary to popular belief, most tumors are not genetic. They arise spontaneously. The only way to know is to find out precisely what kind of tumor she has and ask for details about genetic linkage.
