Question: My grandfather and my father died from cancer am i likely to geti it too!?
Answers:
Most cancers are random and not inherited; nobody knows what causes them!. Fewer than 10% of cancer cases are due to hereditary factors!.

Your chances of getting cancer are not necessarily greater than if nobody in your family had cancer!.

You can inherit a tendency to get SOME particular cancers (not all), but you won't definitely get that cancer!. Some cancers are not hereditary at all
