Can pancreatic/biliary duct, stomach, colon cancer or leukemia skip a generation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Variable: Family incidence doesn't mean you will have the disease only that you MAY get it and should be more vigilant. For example colon cancer. Start colonoscopy at age 30 rather than 50, etc..
