Is laryngeal cancer contagious?

Laryngeal cancer is one of the most common diseases in modern times. People who are unfortunately diagnosed with laryngeal cancer will have a huge psychological burden, not only because of the fear of cancer, but also because they believe that laryngeal cancer is contagious, thus affecting their family and friends. So, let's take a look at how likely laryngeal cancer is to be contagious.

Many laryngeal cancer patients now mistakenly believe that laryngeal cancer is contagious, so they are afraid to contact others for fear of infecting others. In fact, this behavior is mainly due to the lack of basic knowledge of cancer. Recently, relevant experts said: laryngeal cancer is not contagious. Therefore, we can safely contact and communicate with laryngeal cancer patients instead of isolating them.

Generally speaking, viruses are contagious, but the infectivity of different viruses varies. After viral infection, only 1% of people develop clinical symptoms, while the majority of people do not develop symptoms and are in a latent infection state. Whether or not a person develops symptoms after viral infection is closely related to the body's defense function. If the body's defense function is strong, even if there is a viral infection, the person may not develop the disease for the rest of his life.

Foreign medical scientists have also demonstrated that laryngeal cancer is contagious. Through long-term observation of patients in cancer sanatoriums, they found that cancer patients with ulcers and cancer patients without ulcers who stayed together for a long time never infected each other.

On the other hand, there are countless cancer patients treated by doctors, and the cancer incidence rate of doctors is no higher than that of ordinary people. It is a common fact that animals with cancer and healthy animals live in the same room, and no direct infection has been found.
