Can stomach cancer be transmitted to others

With the development of society, changes in people's living habits and eating habits, gastric cancer has become a problem that more and more people are concerned about. So generally speaking, is gastric cancer contagious? The answer is no. Cancer is generally not contagious, and gastric cancer is not contagious either. However, it should be noted that the occurrence of gastric cancer is related to heredity and genes, so it may be inherited. This must be paid attention to. Let's take a look at the relevant situations.

First, let's look at the factors that are related to gastric cancer, including the regional environment and dietary lifestyle factors. For example, people who eat smoked, roasted, or salted foods for a long time have a high incidence of distal gastric cancer, and smokers have a 50% higher risk of gastric cancer than non-smokers. Gastric cancer is also related to Helicobacter pylori infection, precancerous lesions, and heredity and genes, but it is not contagious.
Secondly, most people mistakenly believe that gastric cancer is contagious because the causes of gastric cancer are related to eating habits and dietary preferences. People who live together tend to have similar or identical diets. Therefore, some people who are diagnosed with gastric cancer find that the people they live with also have gastric cancer, and they conclude that gastric cancer is contagious.
Finally, gastric cancer patients can be treated through surgery, including radical surgery, palliative surgery, and chemotherapy can be used before, during and after radical surgery to prolong survival, as well as combined with radiotherapy, heat therapy, immunotherapy, traditional Chinese medicine treatment, etc. to improve the patient's chance of survival.
In daily life, we should pay attention to a balanced diet, develop good eating habits, avoid spicy fried foods, avoid overeating or eating too hot food, etc., and avoid bad habits such as long-term smoking and drinking.
