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.

Why does UV light cause cancer?
UV light causes cancer by damaging the DNA in skin cells, leading to mutations that can result in uncontrolled cell growth and the development of cancer. Prolonged exposure to UV light, especially from the sun, increases the risk of skin cancer due to this DNA damage. UV light can also weaken the immune system's ability to repair damaged cells, further increasing the likelihood of cancer development.
Multi-hit model of carcinogenesis?
The multi-hit model of carcinogenesis posits that cancer develops through the accumulation of multiple genetic mutations or "hits" in key genes involved in cell growth and proliferation. Each mutation increases the likelihood of uncontrolled cell growth and tumor formation. This model suggests that cancer is a multi-step process requiring the accumulation of mutations over time.
What is a risk factor for cancer?
A risk factor is something that someone does, has or is that increases there chance of having a specific cancer. smoking, drinking, family history of a specific cancer, older age, obesity etc. are all risk factors of cancer
What is relationship between recombination frequency and genetic distance?
Recombination frequency is a measure of the likelihood of two genes being inherited together during reproduction. Genetic distance is the physical measure of the separation between two genes in a genome. There is a direct relationship between recombination frequency and genetic distance - as the genetic distance between two genes increases, the likelihood of recombination events between them also increases.
What general effect does temperature have on the soulubility of a solid?
Generally, as temperature increases, the solubility of a solid in a liquid also increases. This is because higher temperatures provide more energy for the solvent molecules to break apart the solute particles, increasing the likelihood of them mixing and dissolving.
Do you get cancer if you tan?
Skin cancer likelihood increases with increased exposure to uv.
What are the dangers of sun exposure with bare skin?
The ultimate risk of sun exposure with bare skin is skin cancer. Also, developing blisters and getting sunburned increases one's likelihood of developing skin cancer later in life.
Getting sunburned increases your risk of what?
Getting sun burnt increases your chances of melanoma or other skin cancer
Do you have a higher likelihood of breast cancer from your family genetics?
Yes, a person can have a high likelihood of breast cancer from the genetics of the family.
Does cancer screening reduce the likelihood of developing cancer?
Cancer screening does not decrease the likelihood of developing cancer. The purpose of cancer screening is find cancer early so that it may be treated most effectively giving a better prognosis.
What effect may diet have in getting prostate cancer?
there is some evidence to suggest that a diet high in fat increases the risk of prostate cancer.
What is it likelihood of a man dying of prostate cancer compared to his likelihood of getting prostate cancer?
Usually, a man will die from something other than prostate cancer because it is a slow moving disease, and it usually affects older men. There are certain fast moving types of prostate cancer that if contracted by a younger man in their 40's may well be the cause of their death.

Speeding increases the chances of getting into an accident and also increases the severity of injuries in case of a crash. The likelihood of getting injured while speeding is much higher compared to driving at a safe and legal speed.
What is meant by the the term risk factor?
A risk factor is any trait, behavior, or condition that increases a person's chance of getting injured or getting a disease. For example, smoking is a risk factor because it increases a person's chance of getting lung cancer and Heart disease.
A protective factor increases the likelihood of what?
good health
