Can bone cancer be transmitted to the next generation?

Can bone cancer be transmitted to the next generation? Different tumors may have different genetic transmission modes, and the role of genetic factors in the occurrence of most tumors is susceptibility or tendency to carcinogenic factors. The so-called genetic susceptibility to cancer means that among people living under the same living conditions, some individuals are more likely to develop cancer.

In fact, on the basis of certain genetic characteristics, whether cancer will develop also depends on many acquired factors such as mental factors, environmental factors, dietary factors, lifestyle habits, and the combined effects of external carcinogens.

Although there is no consensus on whether bone cancer is hereditary, according to the current etiology research results, some cancers may be caused by certain genetic characteristics plus the effects of external carcinogens. Therefore, from a prevention perspective, early detection of these susceptible patients with genetic factors and timely prevention measures will definitely help reduce the incidence of cancer.

Therefore, people with a family history of bone cancer do not necessarily get cancer, and susceptible people and family members with a high risk of cancer are not susceptible to all cancers. For family members with cancer, there is no need to panic or carry a heavy mental burden. Both patients and family members should face life with an optimistic attitude.
