Welcome to the latest episode of Onco Views. Today, we delve into the intricate relationship between colorectal cancer and heredity, tackling the pressing question: "Is colorectal cancer hereditary?" Many wonder: If a family member has cancer, does it amplify the risk for close relatives? Is the potential for hereditary colorectal cancer something that can pass down to the next generation? Join us as we demystify these concerns and shed light on the nuances of hereditary colorectal cancer.
Contrary to popular belief, most colorectal cancers-about 95%-are sporadic without any hereditary linkage. Only a minority, approximately 5%, can trace their roots to a hereditary background. Hereditary cancers can be identified when multiple family members suffer from the same type of cancer or if an individual encounters the same cancer multiple times.
Moreover, early-onset colon cancer in an individual often points to a hereditary predisposition. Among this subset, Hereditary non-polyposis colon cancer syndrome is the most prevalent condition. Furthermore, mutations and other DNA alterations can also play a role in hereditary colorectal cancer.
We hope this episode shed light on the intricacies of colorectal cancer and its hereditary aspects. If you found it informative, please share with friends and family. Don't forget to subscribe for more insightful episodes. Thank you for tuning in to Onco Views!
