Is there a cancer gene and if so, what are my chances on getting cancer?

On my dad's side of the family, my Great grandfather had cancer and died, my grandfather and grandmother has cancer and my dad had cancer and died from it. Im not completely sure if ky great grandmother had cancer, i know she died at a young age, my grandmother had trouble talking about. I'm not sure of my mom's side, alot of my mom's side has addiction issues.

I don’t know for certain but I’ve heard there is potential genetic behaviour that makes cancer more likely in some.

That said each generation had a different approach to how to tackle cancer, so there are no foregone conclusions if you fight it.
