Answers:
One in three people will develop cancer at some time in their lives, so yes, it's possible that you will get cancer!.

But having had family members with cancer doesn't necessarily mean you're at any increased risk - cancer is rarely hereditary; fewer than 10% of all cancer cases are due to a hereditary factor!.

Several relatives having different types of cancer - eg one having had breast cancer, another having had bone cancer, another stomach cancer etc - does not indicate that there is hereditary cancer in a family!.

An indication that cancer may be hereditary is that several members of the same side of the family have all had the same type of cancer, especially if some have been diagnosed at a younger age than is usual!.

Cancer that is diagnosed after the age of 50 is less likely to be hereditary!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

There is no such entity as "cancer," so your question doesn't make much sense in its current form!. What we call cancer is a whole group of separate diseases, and some of them are at least in part genetically based!. You'd have to look at the specific tumor types in your family even to begin to develop the question!. There are known genetic markers for some forms of breast cancer and pancreatic cancer, to name a couple, and if your family has those, then your risks may be high!. With other cancers, your risks may be low enough that you're statistically more likely to die from other causes before you develop them!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
