    hey hey, just a quick question if ye don't mind. . . so I see alot of people going for colonoscopies and mamograms and ogd's (and a few others) because there has been a family history. Now my question is, what does one do or should one do with a family history of renal, bone, lung & brain cancer? I genuinely cannot think of any one procedure that detects them?

    Thanks guys :o

    some cancers have genetic or familial links

    rare bone cancers may have, not aware of brain cancer having familial effect or renal

    Lung cancer generally environmental unless it is a secondary, smoking, environmental exposure etc.
