Cancer Risk & Family History: What You Should Know

Can Family History Increase Cancer Risk? A family history of certain cancers may increase an individual’s risk, particularly when multiple close relatives are affected or cancer occurs at a younger age. Dr. Huma Noor, Senior Consultant, Medical Oncology, Fortis Escorts Hospital, Okhla, explains how family history can influence cancer risk and when genetic counselling or screening may be considered. Knowing your family history can be an important step towards informed cancer care. #CancerRisk #FamilyHistory #CancerAwareness #MedicalOncology #FortisHospital
