Skin cancer is the most common cancer in Ireland, with over 13,000 new cases diagnosed every year. 9 out of every 10 cases are caused by UV rays from the sun or sunbeds ! Early detection is vital, if spotted early up to 90% of cases are curable. If you are worried that cancer might run in your family, call the Support Line on Freephone 1800 200 700 to speak to one of the cancer nurses, in confidence. Only 5 –10% of cancers are linked to an inherited genetic change. Some genes work to protect against the development of cancer, but changes in these genes can interfere with how they should work. Some people are born with an increased risk of cancer because they have inherited a change in these genes from a parent. We have two copies of most genes. We inherit one copy from our mother and one copy from our father. The child of a parent with a genetic change has a 50% (1 in 2) chance of inheriting the same genetic change from their parent.
