Is kidney cancer highly contagious in the middle stage?

Is kidney cancer in the middle stage highly contagious? Kidney cancer is the most serious type of kidney disease, but people know very little about it, and even don't know how they get kidney cancer. Some people even regard kidney cancer as an infectious disease, so is kidney cancer in the late stage contagious? Here we clearly tell you that kidney cancer is not contagious. Below we will introduce in detail whether kidney cancer is contagious and its causes.

Kidney cancer accounts for about 2-3% of adult malignant tumors, and 80-90% of adult kidney malignant tumors. The incidence rate varies from country to country or region to region. In general, the incidence rate in developed countries is higher than that in developing countries, and in urban areas is higher than that in rural areas. There are more males than females, and the ratio of male to female patients is about 2:1. The age of onset can be seen in all age groups, with the peak age being 50-70 years old. According to statistics from the Tumor Prevention and Control Research Office of a certain country and the Health Statistics Information Center of the Ministry of Health on the incidence and death of tumors in a certain country's pilot cities and counties, the incidence rate of kidney cancer in a certain country has been increasing year by year. By 2008, it has become the 10th most common malignant tumor in my country.

The cause of kidney cancer is unknown. The factors that have been identified as being related to kidney cancer include heredity, smoking, obesity, hypertension, and antihypertensive treatment.

Infection requires three conditions: infection source, transmission route and susceptible population. None of the three can be missing. Clinical data proves that cancer patients themselves are not infection sources. Although it is currently believed that the occurrence of certain cancers is related to certain viruses, it has not yet been confirmed that infection with certain viruses will definitely lead to certain cancers. According to the current results of etiology research, cancer is related to genetics, but cancer is not directly inherited.

Different tumors may have different genetic transmission modes, and the role of genetic factors in the occurrence of most tumors is susceptibility or tendency to carcinogenic factors. The so-called genetic susceptibility to cancer means that among people living under the same living conditions, some individuals are more likely to develop cancer. On the basis of certain genetic characteristics, whether cancer will develop also depends on the combined effects of many acquired factors such as mental factors, environmental factors, dietary factors, lifestyle habits, and external carcinogens.

The above answer to the question "Is late-stage kidney cancer contagious?" is negative. Kidney cancer is not an infectious disease, so it is not contagious.
