Cancer Society.
Is cancer hereditary in human

Is cancer hereditary in human
beings
There are probably inherited
tendencies to form cancer of diff
ferent types. Since, however, the
method Of inheriting such tenden-
cies is obscure and undoubtedly
complex, the presence of cancer in
one or both parents should be
merely cause of greater alertness
in looking for and recognizing sus-
picious conditions on the part of
the individual. There is no need of
fear OF of a fatalistic attitude. The
facts do not justify them.
See your doctor! Cancer can be
cured if detected in time.
