Can stomach cancer be transmitted to children?

Gastric cancer is a common malignant tumor in the digestive system. The early symptoms of gastric cancer are not obvious, but obvious clinical manifestations appear in the middle and late stages. Many family members of gastric cancer patients worry that gastric cancer will be contagious after they get gastric cancer. They often ask doctors, can gastric cancer be transmitted to children? The answer is very certain that gastric cancer is not contagious, so you can rest assured.

Cancer cells are a group of abnormal cells that have lost control and grow in an invasive manner. Cancer cells not only destroy nearby normal tissues and organs, but can also spread to all parts of the body through the lymphatic system and blood circulation, absorbing a large amount of nutrients, growing and proliferating rapidly, leading to systemic failure and even death. Although cancer cells can spread or metastasize everywhere, they cannot be transmitted from one person to another like bacteria and viruses.

Some survey results show that the incidence of cancer in patients with blood relations is higher than that in those without blood relations, and that in close relatives is higher than that in distant relatives, while there is no significant difference between paternal and maternal relatives, indicating that the incidence of cancer is related to genetic factors. For people with a family history of cancer, regular examinations and the arrangement of key protective measures are an effective prevention method, which has important clinical significance for the early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment of tumors.
