Can rectal cancer be inherited by offspring?

It cannot be said that cancer is not hereditary, but that does not mean that all known cancers will be passed on to our sons, daughters, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. For some cancers, if our genetic genes have not deteriorated, but the acquired environment awakens our cancer cells when we grow up, then can rectal cancer be inherited? Regarding this issue, let's take a closer look.

First of all, cancer is the most serious disease that can cause us to lose our lives. Many cancers cannot be completely recovered without recurrence, unless the cancer is misdiagnosed. In this case, people with cancer will be very worried about whether to have children or not, worrying that the cancer will be passed on to their children. That is a very painful situation.

Secondly, whether cancer can be passed on to our children or our children's descendants depends on how the cancer appeared in our body. Cancer itself is caused by the cells that make up the body becoming cancerous first, and then our organs and body parts are identified as cancer. If our cells themselves become cancerous without any reason because of the genetic material inside, then this cancer is likely to be inherited by our children.

Thirdly, if we get cancer, it is due to something in our daily life, the food we eat, the air we breathe or the water we drink. These things act on our body for a long time and some parts that are not suitable for our body make the body deteriorate. This is what doctors call cancer. This kind of cancer is not hereditary.

In short, some cancers are hereditary, while others are not. You should not be afraid to have children just because you have cancer. You should make sure whether your cancer is caused by the genetic material in your cells becoming cancerous, or whether it is caused by the bad environment around you that destroys your health and causes cancer. After this analysis, you will know whether your cancer is hereditary.
