Can liver cancer infect family

summary

One of the questions often asked by family members in daily life is whether liver cancer can be transmitted to family members? The family members and nursing workers who accompany the patients undergoing liver cancer surgery are more worried, and even dare not touch the body of the patients. In real life, many people have similar worries. To correctly and comprehensively answer this question, let's take a look.

Can liver cancer infect family

First, the so-called infection, to put it simply, means that a certain disease is transmitted from one person to another through a certain way. Influenza, measles, mumps, etc. are all infectious diseases. There are three conditions for infection: source of infection, route of transmission and susceptible population.

Second, the current epidemiological survey data show that liver cancer patients themselves are not infectious. Otherwise, surgeons like me who have been in contact with liver cancer patients for a long time have a much higher probability of getting liver cancer than ordinary people! Moreover, the hospital does not need to take isolation measures for patients with liver cancer, so it can be sure that liver cancer is not an infectious disease.

Third, in contact with liver cancer patients with hepatitis B, we need to pay special attention to avoid naked skin or mucous membrane contact with the body fluid of hepatitis B patients, especially when the skin or mucous membrane has an open wound, and daily study, work or life contact without blood exposure, there is no risk of hepatitis B infection.
