70% of cancers are estimated to result from mutations that are not inherited.
Some common DNA mutations directly linked to inherited diseases include the CFTR gene mutation in cystic fibrosis, the BRCA gene mutations in breast and ovarian cancers, and the HTT gene mutation in Huntington's disease. These mutations can be inherited from one or both parents and increase the likelihood of developing the associated disease.
Cancers are of many kinds and can occur in almost any part of the body. While they involve mutations in normal cells, these mutations are not necessarily inherited, but can be caused by radiation -- even normal background radiation -- or by other causes. Genes. A+

Cancers are not "inherited", though a genetic predisposition to them can be.
Many cancers are somatic mutations.
yes
Various forms of cancers are caused due to accumulation of mutations. Some DNA viruses like papilloma, etc. can turn for lysogenic phase and cause cancer. Burkitt's lymphoma is another example (chromosomal aberrations). after cancer has stepped in it causes further mutations.

Mammograms find about 85% to 90% of breast cancers.
About 80% to 90% of primary liver cancers are hepatomas.
Not necessarily. Some produce cancers but many are noncancerous.
