What is the chance of a daughter inheriting colon cancer?

Most cancers are not inherited, but about 10%-15% of cancers are caused by heredity. In epidemiological surveys, there are indeed records of familial cancer. There are two manifestations of familial cancer: one is that many people suffer from different cancers, and the other is that there is a certain cancer clustering phenomenon in a family. Although familial cancer can indicate that cancer is hereditary, it does not mean that everyone will inherit it. What is the probability of hereditary colorectal cancer in a daughter?

Most cancers are the result of the interaction between genetic and environmental factors. The common living environment and living habits make families prone to the same cancer. Colorectal cancer is a disease called familial adenomatous polyposis, which can easily develop into intestinal cancer. It has been observed that if a parent in a family suffers from colon cancer caused by the above diseases, the probability of their children suffering from the same cancer is as high as 50%.
