Can nasopharyngeal cancer be contagious to humans?

Nasopharyngeal cancer is not contagious. The "kissing virus" can spread and cause nasopharyngeal cancer. The Epstein-Barr virus that causes nasopharyngeal cancer can be spread through saliva, and kissing will directly increase the chance of developing nasopharyngeal cancer. Since there is no drug or saliva that can eliminate the Epstein-Barr virus, citizens should avoid kissing strangers.

How to prevent nasopharyngeal cancer: Diet adjustment: Eat a balanced diet, eat less or no salted fish, pickles and other foods containing nitrosamines. China Biological Anti-Cancer Network provides you with comprehensive knowledge on nasopharyngeal cancer prevention. People with nasopharyngeal cancer should avoid physical overwork: such as heavy physical labor, staying up late, excessive physical exercise, etc., which can cause the body's internal environment to be unbalanced, reduce resistance, and promote cancer recurrence or metastasis.

The diet should be balanced, with more vegetables and fruits, less or no salted fish, pickles, smoked meat, cured meat and other foods containing nitrosamines. Spicy and dry foods and excessive drinking are not suitable. Especially for patients with nasopharyngeal cancer during radiotherapy and chemotherapy, dry mouth and throat, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting are common. Spicy, hot and toxic foods should be avoided. The diet should be light, and foods that are easy to digest, nutritious and delicious should be selected.
