The hospital found out that lung cancer is not hereditary. You need to know these lung cancer knowledge

Lung cancer is a highly prevalent malignant tumor among all cancers, and its mortality rate is very high. Especially in recent years, due to environmental pollution and the damage to the lungs caused by smoking, the incidence of cancer has been increasing year by year. So is lung cancer hereditary?

Lung cancer is one of the malignant tumors, and its incidence rate in my country is quite high. According to the records of lung cancer incidence and mortality over the past half century, lung cancer has always been on a clear upward trend. Not only in our country, but also in other countries, the incidence rate of lung cancer ranks first. Since my country has focused on industrial development since the last century, it has also caused great pollution to our environment over the years. In addition, we are a tobacco-producing country with the largest number of smokers in the world. These two reasons also lead to the high incidence of lung cancer in my country. According to statistics, more than 90% of patients are over 40 years old.

It is also due to the continuous increase in female smokers in recent years that the incidence ratio has risen from the original 4:1 to the current 5:1. Although the incidence and mortality of lung cancer are very high, this disease can be prevented and controlled. We do not have reliable evidence to prove whether lung cancer will be passed on to the next generation, but if there are patients with lung cancer in the family, then the next generation is likely to be susceptible. If there are patients with lung cancer in the family, then his children will have several times more chances of developing lung cancer than other people. We have made such a comparison and chose to look at two groups of people. The first group is the family members of patients with lung cancer in the family, and the second group is people who have no lung cancer patients in the family, and both groups have a history of smoking.

The result of the investigation is that the number of deaths from lung cancer in the first group is four times that of the second group. Although the investigation is ongoing, there is no concrete statement about the inheritance of lung cancer so far. In fact, cancer is a disease with a low probability of occurrence. The occurrence of cancer has a lot to do with genetic genes and acquired eating habits and living habits. Moreover, many acquired factors are the main causes of this disease. Even people with a genetic tendency to lung cancer need a certain external environment to form a tumor. Therefore, if you want to reduce the incidence of this disease, you must first have a reasonable lifestyle and eating habits, so that you can effectively prevent the occurrence of cancer.
