A member asked:
How likely is getting cancer if your mother and two grandmas had it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No precise answer: Your risk of getting cancer would be higher than average, however, unless the cancer is associated with a specific genetic change, such as apc, hnpcc, brac 1 and 2 it is not feasible to give a meaningful estimate of the risk.
