both parents had cancer 1 died what r the chances child developing cancer?

Question

mother had lymphoma twice fathers cancer unknown but he died there was no cantact with the father or his family hence unknown actual cancer.

Answer 1

depends. Some cancers rely more heavily on genetics and heredity than others. Like breast cancer runs in families ans does colon and melanoma. But others are brought on by environment and or lifestyle.

Answer 2

Simply knowing that both parents had cancer will reduce the risk of it killing a child if that child uses that information as an inducement to eat right, stay in shape, and avoid tobacco. In addition, of course, regular diagnostic tests to catch a cancer early will promote the best chance of a long life. Most cancers, if caught early enough, are now curable.

Best wishes.
