Is prostate cancer vomit contagious?

Is prostate cancer vomit contagious? Everyone is afraid of infectious diseases, and everyone is afraid of cancer, so some people tend to confuse cancer with infectious diseases, and prostate cancer is also prone to misunderstanding. Below, the author will introduce to you whether late-stage prostate cancer is contagious and what are the causes?

Regarding the question of whether prostate cancer vomit is contagious, the editor tells you that prostate cancer vomit is not contagious. For prostate cancer, it belongs to tumor cells. Although tumor cells fission very quickly and can spread and metastasize, they will not be transmitted to other people. They just live in the patient's body. For bacteria and viruses, close contact or clothing and eating may cause transmission, but prostate cancer tumor cells are not contagious. Just like the doctors in the hospital, they stay with tumor patients all day long, but they have never heard of being infected with cancer. But although prostate cancer is not contagious, there may be genetic factors for prostate cancer, so this needs attention.

No matter what disease the patient has, his family usually takes care of his daily life and diet. This is especially true for patients with advanced prostate cancer. Due to the decline in various aspects of physical function, patients are often unable to take care of themselves. If family members do not have a clear understanding and are afraid that the patient will infect them with prostate cancer, it will be a great psychological blow to the patient. The body is already tortured by the disease, and the mind has to bear tremendous pressure, so the treatment effect will definitely not be good. Prostate cancer patients hope to get more understanding and support from their families. Don't ignore them because of some unfounded speculation. While family members do a good job of daily care for patients, they must also give them more care.

After understanding whether prostate cancer vomit is contagious, the author briefly introduces the causes of prostate cancer:

1. Age factor: The older you are, the higher the chance of developing prostate cancer.

2. Family factors. People with prostate cancer in their blood relatives have a higher chance of getting prostate cancer than the average person; in other words, about 9% of prostate cancer patients have a family history. It is reported that Swedish scientists have observed 5,595 fathers for a long time and found that prostate cancer, like breast cancer, has family characteristics. If the father was diagnosed with prostate cancer before the age of 70, then the son's chance of getting prostate cancer is 2.5 times higher than the average person. If the father only got prostate cancer after the age of 70, the son's chance of getting prostate cancer is 1.5 times higher than the average person. What's more, if more than two close relatives in the family have prostate cancer at the same time, then the relative's chance of getting prostate cancer will increase by 14 times.
