What are Hereditary Cancer Syndromes?

Hereditary cancer syndromes are genetic disorders that increase the risk of certain types of cancer. These syndromes are caused by inherited mutations in specific genes that typically help prevent cancer by controlling cell growth and repairing damaged DNA. When these genes are mutated, they fail to function correctly, leading to an increased likelihood of cancer development.
