Is liver cancer hereditary or contagious

summary

Whether liver cancer is hereditary or infectious or not, I'm worried about my wife now. I don't know what's going on. I went to the hospital to have a liver examination and found out liver cancer. I feel that there are many places in my mouth. It looks like in the late stage, because in the early stage it was vomiting, and now there are still a lot of blood, Now that the disease is under control, I will tell you whether liver cancer is genetic or infectious.

Is liver cancer hereditary or contagious

First, liver cancer itself is not infectious, because liver cancer is the result of malignant transformation and abnormal proliferation of the patient's own cells, and there is no discharge of pathogens, which will not pose a threat to the surrounding population. Therefore, liver cancer will not be infectious in the late stage.

Second: if liver cancer is accompanied by active hepatitis, it is infectious, but the cause of infection is viral hepatitis rather than liver cancer. Therefore, liver cancer cannot be considered as an infectious disease.

Third: liver cancer itself is not directly infectious, it is certain that the family members and friends of patients with advanced liver cancer should give more care, so that they can establish confidence and courage in life and fight against the disease, and there is no need to worry about the infectious problem.

matters needing attention

Liver cancer is not contagious. Some liver cancer patients may have jaundice, which will make people around them feel nervous and worried about being infected. In fact, these concerns are unnecessary, because most jaundice in patients with liver cancer is caused by liver function damage or bile duct compression. It is not acute icteric hepatitis and will not be infectious.
