Can skin cancer be inherited by offspring?

Nowadays, with the improvement of people's living standards, more and more people are suffering from skin cancer. Skin cancer is caused by gene mutation. We must pay great attention to it. Will skin cancer be inherited by future generations?

Daily exposure to the sun and ultraviolet radiation: There is sufficient evidence to support that ultraviolet radiation, the protection of human melanin and the interaction of the immune system function lead to the occurrence of skin cancer. When measuring human skin in sunlight, the parts of the skin that receive the most ultraviolet rays are the head, face, back of the neck, and hands, and squamous cell carcinoma almost all occur in these parts. The carcinogenic mechanism of ultraviolet rays may be that the photochemical effect changes the structure of cell DNA, while destroying the active antigen structure on the surface of lymphocytes, reducing the body's immune function, and leading to the occurrence of skin cancer with the participation of other cancer-promoting factors.

We have not yet obtained scientific confirmation on whether skin cancer is hereditary, so we should still take effective preventive measures in our daily lives. Only by taking preventive measures can we stay away from skin cancer and make our bodies healthier.
