Will long-term contact with bone cancer patients cause infection?

Some friends who have bone cancer patients may ask whether bone cancer is contagious. But in fact, bone cancer refers to the skeletal system, which, like other organs, can be affected by tumors from any tissue components or metastatic lesions from other organs. It is very difficult to treat and causes great pain to patients. Since bone cancer is a terrible torture, some people ask whether it is contagious to live with bone cancer patients for a long time? This question is unnecessary. Cancer is not contagious, but there is a small possibility of hereditary disease. Please see the following introduction for details.

Do you know that bone cancer is contagious?

Bones are the support of the human body and are important tissues that are involved in human movement. Although bones are an important part of the body and can be seen on almost every X-ray, bone cancer is rarely discovered accidentally. Bone tumors can generally be divided into three types: benign bone tumors, low-grade malignant bone tumors, and high-grade malignant bone tumors. Is bone cancer contagious? Benign bone tumors are not fatal to the human body, but malignant bone tumors have abnormal cancer cells in their tissues that are fatal to the human body and can spread to other tissues and organs. Benign bone tumors sometimes turn into malignant bone cancer.

Is bone cancer contagious? The real cause of bone cancer is still unclear, but it may be related to factors such as excessive bone growth, chronic inflammatory stimulation, metabolic problems, and radiation. There are also a small number of cases where the disease is inherited.

Is bone cancer contagious? Pathological types of bone cancer include multiple myeloma, osteosarcoma, soft tissue sarcoma, fibrosarcoma, etc. The most common symptom of malignant bone cancer is cancer metastasis to the bones, especially in the spine and pelvic bones.

Clinical data also prove that cancer patients themselves are not the source of infection. In addition, cancer is not currently listed as an infectious disease in the world, and no isolation measures are taken for patients like for infectious diseases. Therefore, cancer is not a contagious disease, and advanced bone cancer is also not contagious.
