Is cervical cancer a genetic disease?

Is cervical cancer hereditary? We all know that the occurrence of breast cancer has certain genetic factors, so is all cancer hereditary? Is cervical cancer hereditary? This is a question that female friends are more concerned about. So is cervical cancer hereditary as we imagine?

Although the family inheritance tendency of cervical cancer is not obvious, if someone in the family suffers from cervical cancer, the incidence rate of other female members will increase greatly. This is called a family-friend disease. Experts say that the high-risk group for cervical cancer also includes mothers and daughters, sisters with a family history of the disease, and people with basically the same environmental factors as them. Although this virus infection is non-hereditary, that is, cervical cancer is not inherited, but in the same living environment, the infection rate is increased through the transmission of media. In addition, smokers or those who have other diseases, take steroids, or have AIDS are more likely to develop cervical cancer than ordinary people because of their poor immunity.

Cervical cancer is a malignant disease with obvious family and friend genetic characteristics. The latest survey data shows that if the cervical cancer patients in the family are distant relatives, such as cousins, great-grandparents, etc. Then, the probability of relatives suffering from the disease will be slightly higher than the average risk coefficient of ordinary people. If a close relative, such as a sister or mother, suffers from cervical cancer, then the probability of the disease in the direct lineage is 5 times higher than that of the average person; if the direct lineage is diagnosed with cervical cancer before the age of 50, then the risk of the family member suffering from the disease in the future will be even greater; and if you have two or more close relatives with a history of cervical cancer, then the probability of the disease in the direct lineage is about 7.7 times that of the average person.

In the early stages of cervical cancer, women will hardly feel any discomfort, but by the time they have irregular bleeding, they have already reached the second stage of cervical cancer, which increases the severity of the disease and makes it more difficult to treat. Currently, the technology for early detection of cervical cancer is mature, and adult women can have an examination once a year to see if they have any lesions.
