A member asked:
How likely will i have cancer if it runs in both sides of my family?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: ...On the actual number of family members, how old they were when diagnosed, and the kind of cancer they had. Would suggest you gather all your family history and visit a specialist with expertise in inherited cancers.
