Is osteosarcoma hereditary?

Osteosarcoma is not a hereditary disease, but it has a certain genetic tendency. If parents or immediate relatives have this disease, the incidence rate of children will be higher than the general population.

First, is osteosarcoma hereditary?

Osteosarcoma has a certain genetic tendency. If parents and immediate family members have osteosarcoma, the child is very likely to develop the disease, but not all people will develop the disease. For people who are genetically susceptible, more attention should be paid to follow-up observation. When abnormalities are found, targeted treatment should be carried out in a timely manner.

Second, what factors may cause osteosarcoma.

The cause of osteosarcoma is not clear at present, but there are some predisposing factors that can cause the disease, such as irregular lifestyle, staying up late or overwork. These predisposing factors can cause the biological clock to be disrupted. If you catch a cold again, your immunity will decrease. When the body's immunity decreases, it cannot detect and kill abnormally proliferating cells in the body in time, and osteosarcoma slowly forms.
