Cancer is not contagious. Cancer cells in the patient's body are a group of abnormal cells that have lost control and grow in an invasive manner. They not only destroy adjacent normal tissues and organs, but can also spread to all parts of the body through the lymphatic system and blood circulation, and absorb a large amount of nutrients, grow and proliferate rapidly, causing the patient's systemic failure and even death. Although cancer cells can spread or metastasize everywhere in the patient's body, they will not be transmitted from one person to another like bacteria and viruses. To oneself, other people's cancer cells are a kind of foreign body, and the body can destroy other people's cancer cells through its powerful immune rejection ability. Therefore, other people's cancer cells cannot survive in one's own body.

Lung cancer is not contagious. In the past, everyone believed that "lung disease" was contagious, and this "lung disease" was tuberculosis.
