There are several types of bone cancer that are contagious

When it comes to bone cancer, everyone is very afraid. Many cancer patients and their families lack a correct understanding of cancer and are afraid of being infected with cancer. This may raise the question, how many types of bone cancer are contagious? In fact, bone cancer is not contagious, but it may be related to infectious diseases during its occurrence and development. We can say that some bone cancers are caused by infectious diseases, but we cannot say that bone cancer is contagious.

Infection refers to the spread of a disease from one person to another through some means. Infection requires three conditions: the source of infection, the route of transmission and the susceptible population.

Clinical experts said that bone cancer patients themselves are not the source of infection. Although cancer occurs in families with a strong clustering tendency, it is not caused by infection. It is mainly related to the patient's family inheritance and common carcinogenic factors, such as smoking and passive smoking, excessive drinking, eating high-fat soft food, pickled food, moldy food, fried food, etc., home decoration, kitchen fumes, ultraviolet radiation and other viral infections, and family members are susceptible and prone to this cancer, which will lead to family cancer.

The so-called genetic susceptibility to cancer refers to the tendency of some individuals to develop cancer more easily among people living under the same living conditions. 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, living habits, and external carcinogens. Therefore, people with a family history of bone cancer do not necessarily get cancer, and susceptible people and high-cancer family members are not susceptible to any cancer. For family members with cancer, there is no need to panic and bear a heavy mental burden.
