Colorectal Cancer
Frequently Asked Questions
9. If a family member had colorectal
cancer, what are the chances I will have the disease?
Parents, siblings, or children of a person who has had colorectal
cancer are somewhat more likely to develop this type of cancer
themselves. This is especially true if the relative had the cancer
at a young age. If many family members have had colorectal cancer,
the chances increase even more.
