Genetics

Are male individuals most likely to inherit cancer cells than female individuals?

 

I am the youngest in the family of 5 consecutive boys and two girls. My  father and his brother both died of lung cancer and one of their sisters died of cervical cancer. Have I inherited the cancer cells? Will I die of cancer, too?

in my opinion..acquiring certain diseases or cancer its not a matter of gender its a matter of how a certain cancer maybe inherit from one family to another...

based on my experience..acquiring cancer is based on the blood-line of an individual..it is corelated with what genes and DNA transmitted from one generation to another.

In my own understanding,.cancer is one of the out-growing reasons why mortality rate for human becomes a factor that is relevant to health issues. It is not basically what gender will acquire rather how we fight it.
