Abstract

Vivek Subbiah

Cancer is a complex disease, often arising from a combination of genetic and environmental factors. While lifestyle choices such as smoking, diet and physical activity play a significant role in cancer risk, genetic factors also contribute to an individual's susceptibility to the disease. In this article, we will delve into the connection between genetics and cancer risk, exploring how inherited genetic variations can influence one's likelihood of developing cancer.
