No not all cancer's are family or genetically passed on. You may have the genetic code that says you can have it but as you get older you might not even see oncoming symtons or not even see anything related to the cancer when you go to the doctor to see if you have any chance of getting the cancer passed along with your DNA. Even though you have it in you DNA doesn't always mean your going to get the cancer.

What is one example of a new technology that's helping diagnose patients earlier?

A CAT scan may find cancers very early. Hmm, a story about early detection. Last century, down south, the medical examiner examined the bodies of fatal car accidents. The data showed that there were too many solid cancers. Speculation ran wild, even considering that people knew they had cancer and were using the cars to kill themselves. That was not the case, however. People often develop cancers! But people often wipe out their cancers! OK, so now you have early detection. With early detection, you are detecting both cancers which the person would overcome on their own as well as cancers that would kill the person. So early detection saves lives. Hmm, depends on how you measure the event. A certain proportion would self correct -- all by themselves. But how to know?


Is stomach cancer transferable?

No. However the predisposition for certain cancers are genetic and show up in families. Such cancers as breast cancer, stomach cancers, and colon cancer seem to be genetically inheritable, so if your family has such a history it is wise to get diagnosed early.


How ploymorphism and inheritance is different from that in Java and c plus plus?

C++ allows multiple inheritance while Java does not. In my opinion, multiple inheritance is not useful because it can get very confusing very quick. For polymorphism, C++ does early binding by default, while Java does late binding by default. Late binding is more useful than early binding.

Which are the most toughest cancers to cure and why?

The toughest cancers to cure include pancreatic, brain (especially glioblastoma), and ovarian cancers. These cancers are often diagnosed at advanced stages due to vague symptoms, making early detection challenging. Additionally, their aggressive nature and ability to metastasize rapidly contribute to poorer prognoses. Moreover, their unique biological characteristics can render them resistant to conventional treatments, complicating effective management.
