Is Phyllodes Tumor In Breast Genetical?
My sister was just diagnosed with a phyllodes tumor in her breast. She is having it removed at the end of the month. I know this is a rare form of breast cancer, but I am wondering if genetics plays a role in contraction. What are my chances of contracting the same thing? Thanks you.

Yes breast tumours are genetic.
You have to regularly examine your breast.
If any induration means lump palpable immediately consult doctor and do FNAC from lesion.take low fat food, more vegetables, and avoid smoke.
