Is rectal cancer hereditary?

Many patients with rectal cancer have a high chance of recovery if they actively cooperate with treatment during the illness. Some patients often wonder whether they can recover during the period of rectal cancer, whether their disease will be passed on to their offspring, etc. So is rectal cancer hereditary?

First of all, we need to understand what rectal cancer is. Rectal cancer is a type of cancer located near the epidermis of the rectum, a malignant tumor. It is a relatively common malignant tumor of the digestive tract, which can cause extremely serious damage to the patient's digestive system and even be life-threatening.

Next, we need to understand what a genetic disease is. A genetic disease is a disease that is controlled by a pathogenic gene or has genetic material changes. This disease will be passed on to future generations, and sometimes it may be inherited from the previous generation. Common examples include congenital deaf-muteness, etc.

Judging from the definition of genetic diseases and some symptoms of rectal cancer, rectal cancer should not be inherited, because it is just a sudden disease and does not change a person's genetic material structure. Therefore, rectal cancer will not have any impact on one's offspring.

Patients with rectal cancer should not eat foods that are difficult to digest because their digestive system is damaged. They should eat more liquid foods, as well as fruits, vegetables and other foods rich in vitamins.
