well u can carry the gene of cancer and it can be carried down to your kids yes but if the dad doesnt have that gene of cancer then most likely your kid wont get it because the dad is the dominant gene most of the time. but theres a chance im pretty sure of they kid getting it or carrying it it might not become cancer if their just a carrier. like for example you know how people say a certain cancer runs in their family thats how it happens like people carry it from generation to generation. well if you need anything else write me in my inbox if you have anymore questions.

Not all cancers have the genetic component. It's mainly cervical, breast, bowel types that COULD be passed on. It doesn't necessarily mean you definitely will get it... there's just a higher risk.
If you are worried and certain cancer runs in your family, you can be screened every so often, so if you do happen to get it, you can catch it early and be treated.

most cancers arnt DNA related but cancers like cervical cancer and breast cancer can run in the DNA sometimes. but other than that usually no, because cancer isnt contagious..

I'm not sure if ALL cancers are trait linked, but if a mother has it then there's a certain % that the children could have it as well. It depends on how longs it's run in the family too.
