Can kidney cancer be passed on to sons?

To understand whether kidney cancer can be passed on to children, we must first know the causes of kidney cancer. How is kidney cancer caused? It is transformed from normal cells. The division of cancer cells is like a wild horse that is "unbridled" and difficult to control. When the number of cancer cells in human cells exceeds 1 million, some symptoms of cancer will occur.

So how do normal cells mutate into cancer cells? For example, viruses, radiation, and chemicals act on the DNA in the cells, causing changes in its structure or function, which in turn leads to changes in metabolism and cell proliferation, which then become cancer cells. DNA is the basic substance of heredity. Once DNA changes, it will be passed on to the next generation. In this sense, kidney cancer is related to heredity.
Can kidney cancer be passed on to children? Although the occurrence of most cancer tumors is related to environmental factors, some people living in the same environment may develop cancer while others remain healthy. Moreover, some tumors are passed down in certain families with a certain regularity. These phenomena are difficult to explain if they are explained by the role of environmental factors alone. Over the years, a large amount of data has been accumulated in the study of tumor etiology, indicating that genetic factors play an important role in the occurrence of tumors. The occurrence and formation of tumors are essentially the combined effects of environmental factors and genetic factors.
