Answer: There's no simple answer to this question. Some abnormal genes are associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. In families that have an abnormal gene, it can be passed down from a parent to a child. Only 10% (1 in 10) of women with breast cancer have inherited an abnormal breast cancer gene.
No. Cancer is not really hereditary in the true sense of the word. Hereditary means that you definitely get a trait such as eye colour or an illness from the genes you inherit from your parents. The cause of cancer is not as simple as that. Cancers are not caused by just one gene. Cancer is usually an illness of older people and most cancers occur when several genetic changes occur in a cell. This is called sporadic cancer. But some people inherit faulty (mutated) genes which make their chance of developing a particular cancer higher than normal.
