Leading Cancer Oncologist explains that Yes in fact, cancer is a genetic disease. This is because cancer is caused by mutations or changes to genes that control the way our cells function, causing them to behave irregularly. These mutations can be inherited, as they are in about 5-10 percent of all cancer cases, but it?s much more likely that these gene changes occur during a person?s lifetime due to other factors besides genetics. When someone has a known family history of hereditary cancer, genetic testing is often recommended.

As explained by the Oncologists, body is made up of many different types of cells. Under normal conditions, cells grow, divide, become old, and die. Then, in most cases, they're replaced by new cells. But sometimes cells mutate grow out of control, and form a mass, or tumor, instead of dying. Tumors can be benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Cancerous tumors can attack and kill your body?s tissues. They can also spread to other parts of the body, causing new tumors to form there. This process is called metastasis and it represents cancer that has advanced to a late stage.
