Is liver cancer contagious

summary

My grandfather has been coughing before, and his face is also very bad. He went to the hospital for an examination and said that he had liver cancer. He has been cooperating with the doctor for treatment. I am here to popularize whether liver cancer is infectious.

Is liver cancer contagious

First, cancer cells usually have four ways of metastasis, namely, direct spread, lymphatic metastasis, hematogenous metastasis and implantation metastasis, which will not be transmitted by other ways. And it will not be infected by normal skin contact. So we don't have to worry about it, but we should pay attention to the possibility of infection if it is hepatitis virus.

Second, liver cancer is not an infectious disease, and other tumors are not infectious. So far, there is no evidence that any tumor is an infectious disease. We don't have to worry too much. Living liver cancer cells are generally not excreted from the body. Even if a small number of liver cancer cells run out into the external environment, or even enter another person's body, they will soon die or be cleared by the person's immune system.

Third, people who have close contact with liver cancer patients or their families who care for liver cancer patients do not have to worry about getting liver cancer. Liver cancer itself is not contagious. But the vast majority of patients with liver cancer is due to hepatitis, cirrhosis and ultimately develop to the outcome of liver cancer. Therefore, when there are such patients at home, we should pay attention to self-protection, not to touch their blood, body fluids and secretions, so as to avoid accidents.
