Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Colon and breast cancer have been found to have a higher incidence in some families due to genetic predisposition. This can be due to inherited mutations of specific genes, such as BRCA1 and BRCA2 for breast cancer, and Lynch syndrome for colon cancer. Lung and liver cancer do not have a strong genetic component, and brain cancer can have some genetic risk factors but is not as strongly associated with familial incidence as colon and breast cancer.
