Is advanced esophageal cancer seriously contagious?

As we all know, some cancer diseases are contagious, and the infectiousness of the disease can threaten the life and health of others. Is esophageal cancer contagious in the late stage? Esophageal cancer is one of the serious cancer diseases. We must not ignore this disease. Many people are afraid of being infected when they come into contact with esophageal cancer patients. Let's take a look at the experts' introduction below.

Some people have conducted a large number of animal experiments, keeping cancerous animals and healthy animals together for a long time. After repeated observation, no infection occurred. Is esophageal cancer contagious in the late stage? Many cancers do have a family clustering tendency, such as esophageal cancer. Sometimes several members of a family will suffer from esophageal cancer. This is mainly caused by the same living habits. For example, they all like to eat hot food, spicy food, and pickled food, which causes esophageal cancer to tend to cluster in a family. However, according to scientific research, tumor disease is not equivalent to genetic disease and does not have a genetic tendency. Then the doubt that esophageal cancer is contagious in the late stage can be dispelled.

Let's first understand infection. In layman's terms, the so-called infection means that the disease is transmitted from one individual to another through some means. The transmission of the disease must have three basic conditions: the source of infection, the route of transmission and the susceptible population. General infectious diseases are infections by bacteria and viruses. Will esophageal cancer be contagious in the late stage? Esophageal cancer is a cell mutation, so the esophageal cancer patient himself is not a source of infection, so esophageal cancer is not contagious.

In principle, cancer is not contagious, but the occurrence and development of a few cancers may be related to infectious diseases. For example, hepatitis B itself is contagious. In my country, it is an important cause of liver cancer. Many liver cancer patients have a history of hepatitis B in the early stages. We can say that some tumors are caused by infectious diseases, but direct transmission of tumors generally does not exist. "Is early esophageal cancer generally contagious?" You will no longer have the question of whether it is contagious.

After reading the introduction to the above content, now everyone has understood it. I hope these contents can be helpful to everyone. I hope everyone will not look at esophageal cancer patients with tinted glasses.
