Can mother's colorectal cancer be inherited?

Colorectal cancer is a general term for colon cancer and rectal cancer. Colorectal cancer refers to malignant lesions of the colorectal mucosal epithelium caused by multiple carcinogenic factors such as environmental or genetic factors. It has a poor prognosis and a high mortality rate. Colorectal cancer is a malignant tumor originating from the colorectal mucosal epithelium and is one of the most common malignant tumors of the digestive tract. So, is maternal colorectal cancer hereditary?

Like other malignant tumors, the cause of colorectal cancer is still unclear, but it may be related to the following factors.
1. Environmental factors Studies have shown that among various environmental factors, diet is the most important, and the incidence of colorectal cancer is positively correlated with the high fat consumption in food. In addition, it may also be related to the lack of trace elements and changes in lifestyle habits.
2. Genetic factors There are reports of "familial colorectal cancer" both at home and abroad. The number of blood relatives of colorectal cancer patients who died of the disease is significantly higher than that of the general population. Some colorectal adenomas, such as multiple familial adenomatosis, are autosomal dominant genetic diseases with a family prevalence rate of up to 50%. If not treated, there is a possibility of colorectal cancer after the age of 10. Recently, some scholars have studied the relationship between tumor suppressor genes and colorectal cancer and found that the susceptibility and pathogenesis of colorectal cancer are both related to genetic factors.
