Help please! is cancer hereditary ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sometimes...: Some types of malignancy are inherited but many are sporadic and not associated with any familial tendency toward greater likelihood of cancer in family members. "cancer" is a broad category. Is there a specific type of cancer about which you are concerned?
