Answer:
Cancer is a genetic disease, because it is caused by changes in the genes that control the growth and division of cells.
Step-by-step explanation:
In fact, cancer is the most common human genetic disease.
Some gene changes cause cells to evade normal growth controls.
Others cause a non-functional form of a protein that repairs damage to cells.
However, inherited genetic mutations cause only about 5 % to 10 % of all cancers.
