    GlossaryCancer Risk

    likelihood of developing cancer influenced by genetics and environment

    Cancer Risk, also known as Cancer Susceptibility, refers to the likelihood or probability of an individual developing cancer over a certain period of time. This risk can be influenced by a variety of factors, including genetic predisposition, lifestyle choices (such as smoking and diet), environmental exposures (like radiation and carcinogens), and underlying health conditions. Understanding cancer risk helps in early detection, prevention strategies, and personalized medical approaches.
