#CloseTheCareGap

Out of all Cancers, 5 to 10 percent are thought to be hereditary. In hereditary Cancer cases, an individual inherits a copy of a growth control gene with a mutation from one parent, and a working copy of the same gene from the other parent. A cell can lose its growth control and become cancerous if the working copy of the gene in a cell becomes damaged by a mutation. There is a much greater chance of developing certain cancers in individuals who inherit a Cancer susceptibility gene. However, not everyone with an inherited Cancer susceptibility gene will develop Cancer.


Signs suggesting hereditary Cancer include
  • Two or more relatives with the same type of Cancer, on the same side of the family.
  • Several generations affected.
  • Early ages of Cancer diagnosis.
  • Individuals with more than one primary Cancer.
  • The occurrence in one family of cancers which are known to be genetically related (such as breast and ovarian Cancer, or colon and uterine Cancer).
  • The presence of physical signs which are known to be associated with hereditary Cancer (such as moles and melanoma, or polyps and colon Cancer).
  • Certain rare types of Cancer.
