Is the baby's bone cancer inherited from the parents?

Is bone cancer inherited from parents? Bone cancer is the most painful cancer for patients. It is caused by the transformation of normal bone cells into cancer cells. The division of cancer cells is difficult to control and treat. Although bone cancer is not contagious, is it hereditary? Please see the detailed introduction below.

Bone cancer is the transformation of normal bone cells into cancer. Specifically, if viruses, radiation, chemicals, etc. act on the DNA in cells, it will cause changes in its structure and function, which will lead to changes in metabolism and cell proliferation, and then become cancer cells. DNA is the basic substance of heredity. Once DNA changes, it will be passed on to the next generation. In this sense, cancer is related to heredity.

So when the DNA in the parents' reproductive cells becomes cancerous, all the cells in their children's bodies will acquire this changed genetic information and may become cancerous. This is a "hereditary" cancer. So if the cancer occurs in the reproductive cells, it will be passed on to the next generation. Cancers in other places will not be directly inherited. According to the current results of epidemiological research, cancer is related to genetics, but cancer is not directly inherited.

According to the current etiology research results, some cancers may be caused by certain genetic characteristics plus the effects of external carcinogens. Therefore, from the perspective of prevention, early detection of these susceptible patients with genetic factors and timely prevention measures will definitely help reduce the inheritance rate of bone cancer.

The above is a detailed introduction to the issue of bone cancer inheritance. In fact, people with a family history of bone cancer do not necessarily get bone cancer, and susceptible people and cancer family members are not susceptible to any cancer. Therefore, for cancer family members, there is no need to panic and bear a heavy mental burden. However, prevention is essential. Bone cancer patients should do more exercise and take more calcium tablets to ensure strong bones.
