Things You Should Know About Family Cancer Syndrome
                     THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW 
ABOUT FAMILY CANCER SYNDROME
 A cancer syndrome or family cancer 
syndrome is a hereditary issue. At times, the 
danger of cancer growth increments in family 
members because they share certain practices 
or presentations, for example, smoking. 
GENE MUTATIONS ARE OF 2 TYPES 
INHERITED OR ACQUIRED
 An inherited gene mutation is present in the egg or 
sperm cell that helps in forming the child. Fertilized 
egg creates a cell that divides many times and 
becomes a baby. Since all the cells come from this 
first cell, and the same passes on to the next 
generation
 An acquired (somatic) mutation starts in one cell 
and passes on to any new cells that are created 
from that cell. It does not come from a parent. This 
kind of mutation is not present  in the cells of egg or 
sperm, so it does not pass on to the next generation
