Hereditary and Familial Cancer

If members of your immediate family have had cancer, you may be concerned about your risk of cancer and wonder what you can do about it. In most cases, cancer does not run in families. Only about 5 to 10 percent of cancers are genetic, or inherited. Thanks to recent discoveries about cancer genetics, experts at the Familial Cancer Clinic within the Masonic Cancer Clinic can help people determine if they have inherited an increased risk for cancer. We also recommend ways to use that information for screening and intervention.
