Q. is cancer genetic? if one in the family has/had cancer does it reflects on the other family member's chances? A. Unfortunately yes… some types of cancer have a clear genetic tendency, that means that if your mother had breast cancer- your chances to having it too is 10% bigger then anyone else. this is why if you know there’s a cancer tendency in your family, you should take even more care then others. Lower risks, get checked more often…that kind of things. More discussions about reflectREFLECT
