Is metastatic bone cancer hereditary?

There are more and more cancer patients now. Many people are very panicked when the word cancer is mentioned, especially bone cancer. Some people will think that many diseases are hereditary, so will metastatic bone cancer be hereditary? If it is hereditary, how many generations will it be inherited? What is the inheritance probability? The following will share some knowledge about this aspect, hoping to help everyone.

According to the current results of etiological research, cancer is related to genetics, but cancer is not directly inherited. Different tumors may have different genetic transmission methods, and the role of genetic factors in the occurrence of most tumors is susceptibility or tendency to carcinogenic factors. The so-called genetic susceptibility to cancer means that among people living under the same living conditions, some individuals are more likely to develop cancer. On the basis of certain genetic characteristics, whether cancer will develop also depends on the combined effects of many acquired factors such as mental factors, environmental factors, dietary factors, and living habits, as well as external carcinogens.

Therefore, people with a family history of cancer do not necessarily get cancer, and susceptible people and family members with a high risk of cancer are not susceptible to all cancers. For family members with cancer, there is no need to panic and bear a heavy mental burden. From a prevention perspective, early detection of these susceptible patients with genetic factors and timely prevention measures will definitely help reduce the incidence of cancer. As long as you go to a specialized oncology hospital for regular physical examinations, you can achieve the goal of early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment.

In daily life, we need to maintain a good mental state, eat a reasonable diet, pay attention to choosing foods with anti-cancer effects in a targeted manner, choose appropriate sports and physical exercise methods, mobilize the body's positive anti-cancer factors, and continuously improve the body's immunity. In this way, whether it is a cancer-susceptible population or a family member with a high risk of cancer, the occurrence of cancer can be avoided to the greatest extent.
