We know that many malignant diseases are contagious, but the transmissibility of malignant tumors has never been confirmed. In fact, bone cancer, as a bone system, can be affected by tumors of any tissue component or metastatic lesions from other parts, just like other parts. It is very difficult to treat and causes great pain to patients. Since bone cancer is so terrible, some people ask whether bone cancer is hereditary? Bone cancer is the transformation of normal bone cells into cancer. Specifically, if viruses, radiation, chemicals, etc. act on the DNA in cells, it will cause changes in its structure and function, which will lead to changes in metabolism and cell proliferation, and 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, cancer is related to heredity. So when the DNA in the parents' reproductive cells becomes cancerous, all the cells in their children's bodies will acquire this changed genetic information and may become cancerous. This is a "hereditary" cancer. So if the cancer occurs in the reproductive cells, it will be passed on to the next generation. Cancers in other places will not be directly inherited. According to the current results of epidemiological research, cancer is related to genetics, but cancer is not directly inherited. According to the current etiology research results, some cancers may be caused by certain genetic characteristics plus the effects of external carcinogens. Therefore, from the perspective of prevention, early detection of these susceptible patients with genetic factors and timely prevention measures will definitely help reduce the inheritance rate of bone cancer.
