anomaly21 - The really short version of a long answer is; You can pass on genetic traits that may include a higher risk for some cancers, but you can not pass to them cancer directly. The only way this may be possible (as far as I'm aware) if you were exposed to high lvls of radiation prior to giving birth.
cindy - Some genes make it more likely to get SOME types of cancers which doesn't mean you will necessarily develop it in life..., but most happen because of poor diet, lack of exercise, air polution, bad luck etc... So I wouldn't worry too much about it... Just one of the many risks of life...
Denisedds - Cancer is not contagious. There are about 15 known cases of a cancer metastasizing to a fetus. Few cancers are hereditary. Maybe you can be more specific.
charlie - Yes.
ReplyDeletepokemanz95 - if its genetic then yes
ReplyDeleteEvolve - No.
ReplyDeleteYou can place them at a higher risk. e.g. mother smokes during pregnancy, but if you have cancer you will not "pass it on" to the child.
