Having a family history of cancer can slightly increase your risk, but it does not mean you will definitely develop it. You can lower your risk by maintaining a healthy lifestyle by eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, avoiding smoking and excess alcohol, and getting regular health check-ups. Discussing genetic screening with a doctor can also help identify specific risks early.
