All cancers are caused by some influence on the genes of cells in some part of the body. This does not mean that this change is hereditary.

Cancer can be classified as sporadic or hereditary. Sporadic cancer comprises most cases of cancer and occurs at random, with no relation to family groups. On the other hand, hereditary cancer is characterized by genetically defined syndromes, producing a high risk of developing cancer. It is estimated that it accounts for an average of 5% to 10% of the occurrences of some types of cancer in the population.

In the case of hereditary cancer, the tumors most frequently associated with inherited genetic disorders are: breast cancer, colon and rectum cancer, ovarian cancer and thyroid cancer. It is important to remember, however, that not every individual who inherits a genetic predisposition will develop cancer.

Genetic testing now allows the identification of mutations in the genes associated with hereditary breast, ovarian and intestinal cancer. Genetic testing must be done jointly by the oncologist and / or a professional who specializes in genetic counseling.

If genetic testing is not possible, the oncologist can use some factors related to the patient the most important family history), tumor, and degree of kinship to predict which conduct would have the best chance of preventing the onset of a tumor in a particular relative.
