Is liver cancer contagious

summary

A friend of my colleague got liver cancer. I heard that he was always uncomfortable recently. A few days ago, he had vomiting, abdominal distension, body swelling, weakness of limbs, and sometimes he had a high fever. Patients with this disease should be treated as soon as possible. Now I will tell you about whether liver cancer can be transmitted.

Is liver cancer 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.
