This certainly can put you at a higher risk, but doesn't certainly mean you will. Of course how long you live plays an important part in this. As people get older, their risk to get some form of cancer greatly goes up. Also the types of cancers in your family mean a lot. Some cancers are not common to be hereditary, such as brain tumors

If you have a family history of cancer it is guaranteed that you will develop cancer?

No, it isn't. But you should try to stay away from the things that caused the cancer to be 'triggered' in your family members. I have cancer in my family as well but it was mostly due to smoking. I have not ever smoked.
