Glossary

“Even though all cancer is genetic, just a small portion—perhaps 5 or 10 percent—is inherited. Most cancers come from random mutations that develop in body cells during one's lifetime—either as a mistake when cells are going through cell division or in response to injuries from environmental agents such as radiation or chemicals.”
