What is the inheritance rate of endometrial cancer

The emergence of cancer is still a mystery that has not been fully solved. In addition, there are many types of cancer, including endometrial cancer. Women who have endometrial cancer have heard that cancer is hereditary, so they want to know: Is endometrial cancer hereditary? In response to this question, hospital experts have made the following introduction:

Many medical practices have shown that genetic factors play a role in the occurrence of cancer. Cancers that are closely related to genetics can be divided into two categories:

Hereditary cancer is mainly a cancer that is completely determined by genetic genes.

Hereditary cancers are relatively rare, and the more common ones are Wilms tumor and retinoblastoma, both of which are hereditary diseases determined by abnormal genes. Eighty to ninety percent of women with these abnormal genes will develop this type of cancer.

Even if no genetic material basis is found for cancers of the "cancer predisposition" type, there is still a significant genetic tendency.

Many family members have "cancer predisposition", and in some families, many people in multiple generations or one generation have the same cancer, such as familial colon polyps and hereditary immunodeficiency syndrome. These precancerous lesions are hereditary, but they may not develop into cancer. They only have the risk of developing into cancer, such as familial colon polyps. If they are not treated, they are more likely to develop into colon cancer. Women with hereditary immunodeficiency syndrome have relatively low immune function and are more likely to suffer from leukemia, lymphosarcoma and other lymphoreticular tumors. It should be noted that women with "cancer predisposition" do not necessarily have cancer, but they are more likely to develop cancer than ordinary people. The occurrence of cancer is determined by internal and external factors, and cancer predisposition only has certain internal factors. Cancer will only occur if external carcinogenic factors are added.

Women should note that there is a certain relationship between cancer and heredity. Women with a family history of cancer should realize that even if they may have a "cancer predisposition" due to heredity, they will not necessarily get cancer and do not need to be afraid. In addition, they should pay extra attention to cancer prevention and try to detect, diagnose and treat it as early as possible.
