Duodenal adenocarcinoma is generally not hereditary, but clinical research has found that this disease has some relationship with genetic factors, so it may have hereditary tendency.
Duodenal adenocarcinoma is a kind of malignant tumor that occurs in the mucous membrane epithelium of duodenum of patients, the specific cause of this disease is not clear at present, and it is considered that it is related to bile, pancreatic secretion of bile acid and other substances in the patient’s body. Malignant tumors are not usually passed on to the next generation, but clinical studies have found that the disease is related to genetic factors, as well as malignant changes in duodenal ulcers and other factors, so it may have a certain genetic predisposition.
Although the disease may have a certain hereditary tendency, most patients do not inherit the disease, so patients do not need to worry too much. Meanwhile, the prognosis of this disease is relatively good after treatment, and the 5-year survival rate of patients can reach 25%~60% after surgical treatment such as pancreatic head duodenectomy.
To sum up, although duodenal adenocarcinoma is not hereditary, it is recommended that high-risk groups with family history of tumor should have regular medical checkups, and early detection and diagnosis and early treatment will be of great help for tumor treatment.
