What Is Hereditary Cancer?
Cancer arises from the uncontrolled growth of cells. We receive one complete copy of our genes from our mother and another from our father. It is the accumulation of multiple mutations over many years that disrupts the growth control of the cell and allows a normal cell to grow without control, and eventually, become cancer.

What is Cancer?
Cancer is a disease in which some of the body's cells grow uncontrollably and spread to other parts of the body. Cancer can start almost anywhere in the human body, which is made up of trillions of cells. Normally, human cells grow and multiply (through a process called cell division) to form new cells as the body needs them. When cells grow old or become damaged, they die, and new cells take their place.
-
When Cancer Spreads?
Enlarge In metastasis, cancer cells break away from where they first formed (primary cancer), travel through the blood or lymph system, and form new tumours (metastatic tumours) in other parts of the body. The metastatic tumour is the same type of cancer as the primary tumour.
-
How Does Cancer Develop?
Enlarge Cancer is caused by certain changes to genes, the basic physical units of inheritance. Genes are arranged in long strands of tightly packed DNA called chromosomes. Genetic changes that cause cancer can happen because of errors that occur as cells divide.
-
When to see a doctor?
Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any persistent signs or symptoms that concern you. If you don't have any signs or symptoms, but are worried about your risk of cancer, discuss your concerns with your doctor. Ask about which cancer screening tests and procedures are appropriate for you.

Inherited genetic defects (for example, BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations),
Infections
environmental factors (for example, air pollution), and
poor lifestyle choices -- such as smoking and heavy alcohol use
