5种遗传性癌症可以从父母传给孩子

5种遗传性癌症可以从父母传给孩子

In Shaanxi, a family of 5 has 3 people (mother and 2 children) with thyroid cancer and other tumors. Such cancer is called "hereditary cancer".

在陕西，一个五口之家有3人(母亲和2个孩子)患有甲状腺癌和其他肿瘤。这种癌症被称为“遗传性癌症”。

Although the extreme cases mentioned above are relatively rare, they still make people feel afraid of cancer and make people confused about the truth about hereditary cancer.

虽然上面提到的极端案例相对少见，但它们仍然让人们对癌症感到恐惧，让人们对遗传性癌症的真相感到困惑。

Some cancers can be hereditary

有些癌症是遗传的

Modern medical research has confirmed that more than 80% of cancers are accidentally formed under the influence of acquired factors, while only 5-10% of cancers are hereditary.

现代医学研究证实，超过80%的癌症是在后天因素的影响下偶然形成的，而只有5-10%的癌症是遗传性的。

Human cells always metabolize. After the cancer cells appear, they will only proliferate, not die, thus forming cancer. This kind of cancer is caused by a genetic mutation in the body’s own cells. For example, regular smokers will develop lung cancer due to long-term irritation to the lung, leading to cell mutation.

人体细胞总是在新陈代谢。癌细胞出现后，它们只会增殖，不会死亡，从而形成癌症。这种癌症是由人体自身细胞的基因突变引起的。例如，经常吸烟的人会因为对肺的长期刺激而患上肺癌，导致细胞突变。

As for hereditary cancer, after the first generation has cancer, data about this cancer remain in the gene. The mutation is passed from the parent to the next generation. But this is just a possibility, as no one can be sure that the next generation will have cancer in the future.

至于遗传性癌症，在第一代有癌症之后，关于这种癌症的数据仍然存在于基因中。这种突变从父母传给下一代。但这只是一种可能性，因为没有人能确定下一代将来会得癌症。

However, the risk of cancer of these people is higher compared to other groups.

然而，与其他人群相比，这些人患癌症的风险更高。

In addition to the acquired and hereditary factors, there are also tumors with genetic sensitivity - when the next generation have the same eating and lifestyle habits as their parents, the cancer cells are then "activated", otherwise they will be inactive and cause no harm to the body.

除了后天的和遗传的因素外，还有一些具有遗传敏感性的肿瘤——当下一代与他们的父母有相同的饮食和生活习惯时，癌细胞就会被“激活”，否则癌细胞就会不活动，不会对身体造成伤害。

These types of cancer can be hereditary

这些类型的癌症可以遗传

Breast cancer

乳腺癌

According to epidemiological investigations, 5-10% of breast cancers are related to genetic factors. If a mother has breast cancer, her daughter's risk of developing breast cancer in the future will increase 1.5 to 3 times. If two more close relatives have breast cancer, the risk will increase 7 times. Moreover, the younger the ones with cancer, the higher the risk of breast cancer for the child in the future.

据流行病学调查，5-10%的乳腺癌与遗传因素有关。如果母亲患有乳腺癌，她女儿未来患乳腺癌的风险将增加1.5到3倍。如果近亲中有2人患乳腺癌，患病几率会增加7倍。此外，癌症患者年龄越小，未来患乳腺癌的风险就越高。

Stomach cancer

胃癌

According to a survey called “Cancer is not an infectious disease, but it may be hereditary” published in Xinhua newspaper in April 2020, the children of stomach-cancer patients are at risk of cancer 3 times higher in the future than children of people without this cancer.

据2020年4月新华社发表的一项名为“癌症不是传染病，但可能是遗传病”的调查显示，胃癌患者的孩子未来患癌症的风险是正常人的3倍。

Colorectal cancer

结肠直肠癌

Statistics show that hereditary colorectal cancer accounts for 10-15% of the total incidence. Children of parents with colorectal cancer are 3-4 times more likely to get the disease. If more than 2 people in a family have cancer, the remaining ones have a higher risk.

据统计，遗传大肠癌占总发病率的10-15%。父母患有结肠直肠癌的孩子患此病的几率是父母的3-4倍。如果一个家庭中有两个人以上患有癌症，那么其余的人患癌症的风险就会更高。

Lung cancer

肺癌

Compared with other cancers, the genetic predisposition to lung cancer is unavoidable because its sensitivity is relatively high (children with a similar lifestyle of eating and drinking are similar to their parents, the chance of having a parent-like illness is higher, which is called genetic susceptibility).

与其他癌症相比，肺癌的遗传易感性是不可避免的，因为它的敏感性相对较高(饮食生活方式相似的儿童与父母相似，患父母样疾病的几率较高，称为遗传易感性)。

Liver cancer

肝癌

Like lung cancer, liver cancer is also relatively sensitive.

和肺癌一样，肝癌也是比较敏感的。

Therefore, in everyday life, once someone in the family has cancer, we must first determine if it is genetic or not, then pay attention to the sensitivity of that cancer. If it's hereditary, you should take more precautions in the future. For some sensitive factors, the first thing to change is the environment and lifestyle.

因此，在日常生活中，一旦家庭中有人患了癌症，我们必须首先确定是否是遗传的，然后注意该癌症的敏感性。如果它是遗传的，你应该在以后采取更多的预防措施。对于一些敏感的因素，首先要改变的是环境和生活方式。
