Many people believe cancer always runs in families.
The truth is, only a small percentage of cancers are inherited through genetic mutations.
Most cancers develop due to lifestyle and environmental factors such as smoking, unhealthy diet, pollution, and lack of physical activity.
Even if someone in your family had cancer, it does not mean you will definitely develop it. Awareness, early screening, and healthy habits can significantly reduce your risk.
If you have concerns about your family history, genetic testing and regular health check-ups can help identify risks early.
