Washington Post Questions if Cancer Is Genetic
Studies indicate that the majority of cancer cases are not linked to genetic factors. Approximately 90% of cases result from the interaction of environmental factors, lifestyle choices, and aging, such as smoking, obesity, and physical inactivity. However, having a family history of the disease—especially if it involves the development of cancer at a young age or multiple family members affected by the same type—may suggest the presence of inherited genetic mutations that increase risk. Genetic testing can identify these mutations and aid in taking early preventive measures, such as regular screenings or surgical interventions, particularly in cases of breast and ovarian cancer. Although genetics significantly increase the likelihood of developing the disease, they do not determine inevitability; risks can be reduced through a healthy lifestyle and early, regular screenings.
