What is the chance of a daughter inheriting colon cancer?

The incidence of colorectal cancer is increasing every year. Colorectal cancer is a malignant tumor of the digestive system. In many families with colorectal cancer, there are often more than one person with colorectal cancer. So what is the chance of colorectal cancer being inherited by a daughter? If there are two colorectal cancer patients in the family, and they are parents and children or siblings, then you need to be vigilant.

Cancer has a genetic tendency, but not everyone will develop it. For some common cancers such as colorectal cancer, breast cancer and skin cancer, the medical community has mastered the relevant genetic information and can determine the probability of cancer in the patient's family members through blood tests. The younger the patient, the higher the risk of colorectal cancer in the first-degree relatives; for colorectal cancer patients under the age of 40, the risk of first-degree relatives is 6 times that of 55 years old. Therefore, family members with a family history of colorectal cancer, especially family members of patients under the age of 40, should pay great attention and have regular health checks.
If there is a colorectal cancer patient in the family, his/her immediate family members should pay attention to observe whether there are changes in bowel habits and defecation characteristics, such as constipation, increased bowel movements, bloody stools, abdominal pain, abdominal distension or intestinal obstruction, etc. If the above symptoms occur, you should go to the hospital for fecal occult blood test, serum carcinoembryonic antigen, digital rectal examination and endoscopic examination, etc., in order to detect cancer as early as possible.
If a family member has colorectal cancer, please do not panic. As long as you follow the doctor's instructions and have regular follow-up visits, you can prevent and diagnose the disease early and prevent it before it happens.
