Is the probability of kidney cancer heredity high
summary
Some time ago, when my grandfather went to the hospital for physical examination, he found that he had gastric cancer. Originally, the whole family was very nervous. Unexpectedly, when my uncle went to the hospital for physical examination, he also found gastric cancer. Suddenly, the family was even more nervous, for fear that the disease was caused by heredity. Today, let me talk about the high genetic probability of kidney cancer.
Is the probability of kidney cancer heredity high
First: kidney cancer is not a genetic disease, so it will not be inherited. You can rest assured. In the treatment of renal cell carcinoma, surgery combined with biological therapy is recommended. Modern medicine has confirmed that most malignant tumors have genetic tendency, but this does not mean that renal cell carcinoma must be inherited. It is only slightly higher than the average person's probability of suffering from renal cancer, and renal cancer is also closely related to living environment and chronic diseases.
Second: cancer has a genetic tendency, but not always. For some common cancers, such as colorectal cancer, breast cancer and skin cancer, the medical profession has mastered the relevant genetic information, and can pass the blood test for genes. Not all renal cancer can be inherited. On the one hand, people with a family history of renal cancer should realize that although they may suffer from renal cancer due to heredity, it does not necessarily mean that they will get renal cancer, and the genetic probability is not the dominant factor in the pathogenesis.
Third: there are some familial renal cell carcinoma, which are found during chromosome examination. A third pair of chromosomes is defective in people with a high incidence of renal cancer. Most of the familial renal cell carcinomas are early onset, tend to be multifocal and bilateral. There is a rare hereditary disease, hereditary macular hamartomatosis (VHP), in which the incidence of renal cancer is as high as 28% ~ 45%. The genetic base rate of cancer is very small, as long as the unit regular physical examination can be.
matters needing attention
Therefore, patients should pay attention to regular physical examination, usually also pay attention to maintenance, to avoid stomach disease, especially pay attention to the rules of life and diet, quit smoking and drinking, avoid too stimulating and greasy food, avoid overeating, pay attention to supplement nutrition, in addition, work and rest should also be regular.
