Is there anyone who has inherited gallbladder cancer?

To understand whether gallbladder cancer is hereditary, we must first know the cause of gallbladder cancer. How is gallbladder 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, since gallbladder cancer is related to heredity, can we draw the following conclusion: the next generation of gallbladder cancer patients will all develop cancer? The answer is no. Why? Because human cells are divided into two categories: somatic cells and germ cells, such as muscle cells, bone cells, and nerve cells. There is no direct connection between the previous generation and the next generation. Only germ cells, sperm and egg cells, are the cells that communicate the genetic information between parents and children. When the DNA in the germ cells of the father and mother becomes cancerous, all cells in their children's bodies acquire this changed genetic information and may become cancerous. This is a "hereditary" cancer.

Is gallbladder cancer hereditary? We should have some understanding of this through the above introduction. Therefore, not all gallbladder cancer is hereditary. People with a family history of gallbladder cancer should realize that although they may suffer from gallbladder cancer due to heredity, it does not mean that they will definitely get gallbladder cancer. They should avoid unnecessary fear. On the other hand, they should pay more attention to cancer prevention and strive for early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment.
