Hi Doctors, My father is currently suffering from oral cancer, and several other members of his side of family, including my paternal aunt (bua), have also passed away due to cancer. I wanted to understand whether cancer can be hereditary and whether this family history increases my chances of developing cancer in the future. Would you recommend genetic counselling or any screening or preventive measures for me?
My father got heart stroke in 2019 and got performed BONE MARROW and find out JAK2 mutation positive(2019). Now( Sep 2026) he lost weight(from 4 months), feeling weakness and his haemoglobin is 9% due to anemia. His heart ejection factor is 25%. haemotogist suggested for BONE MARROW. Is bone marrow mandatory? Considering his age and heart issue Do we have other tests to identify the root cause.
My partner is a 31 year old woman. (We are a same sex couple). Cancer runs in her family. Her mother died of breast cancer when she was only 34 years old. Her mother's sister also had breast cancer after that and might probably have it again. Her mother's sister is currently 55 years old. So, what are the chances that my partner might get cancer in the future too? She will be going for a BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene test. What if she has inherited the cancer gene? If so, will it be breast cancer or any kind of cancer? She also smokes occasionally but wants to quit it. What can she do to prevent it?
She has a ulcer about 2.5 cm from last 45 days. She takes normal medication like orasore, omiprazol etc but not recover. She done biopsy also but report not understood. So need to consult what can I do and explain the attached report.
