It increases a lot...... if a family member has had it.... not like a grandma but a parent or sibling. If you are overweight. People need to eat plenty of vegetables seriously they vitaminsetc can reduce your risk of cancer considerably. You have to eat healthy.. but not over the top. Also some foods can seriously increase the risks. They say breast feeding can reduce the risk of cancer well obveously it doesnt because those who have breast fed have contracted the disease. As you get older as well your risk of getting cancer hugely increases, an unbelieveable amount if people are diagnosed with cancer every year. Personaly i dont think there is anything we can do.
