Myth 2: childhood cancers are inherited.

Fact 2: There is no known single cause for most childhood cancers.
 
At least 95% of the cancers in children occur spontaneously. Since the causative agent in most cases there is no known preventive measures are limited. So far, studies have shown that there is nothing in what the child or the parents could have done to cause cancer, and therefore do not need to take any measures to prevent cancers.
