Is nasopharyngeal cancer contagious?

According to expert statistics, the proportion of nasopharyngeal cancer in my country has been increasing every year, which has brought impacts and harm to many friends, and the mortality rate of the disease is also particularly high. Therefore, many friends are afraid of nasopharyngeal cancer. So, can nasopharyngeal cancer be transmitted to others after contracting it?

Nasopharyngeal cancer is not contagious:

First of all, it is important to be sure that nasopharyngeal cancer is not contagious. However, when there is more than one nasopharyngeal cancer patient in a family, it is because nasopharyngeal cancer has a certain family inheritance, so it is easier to form a scene where nasopharyngeal cancer patients gather. In fact, more often it is because they live together and have similar eating and living habits, so the probability of getting the disease is also similar, not because nasopharyngeal cancer is inherited.

The condition of patients with advanced nasopharyngeal cancer is relatively serious. They need to let go of their psychological burden, actively cooperate with treatment, accept the care given by their family members, and continuously improve their body resistance and immunity through nasopharyngeal cancer diet. At the same time, combine traditional Chinese medicine to treat advanced nasopharyngeal cancer, use Chinese medicine to inhibit the development of cancer cells, control the disease and relieve symptoms, thereby prolonging the patient's life time.

People who are prone to nasopharyngeal cancer:

Epstein-Barr virus (herpes virus) carriers: Epstein-Barr virus infection has been confirmed to be a high-risk factor for nasopharyngeal tumors and is also the main indication for being diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer;

People with a family history of nasopharyngeal carcinoma: All cancers are hereditary, and nasopharyngeal carcinoma is no exception. After years of clinical practice, it has been found that 10% of nasopharyngeal tumor patients have a family tendency;

People who smoke and drink for a long time: It is well known that smoking and drinking are the two main external causes of nasopharyngeal cancer;

People who have long-term bad eating habits: Frequent consumption of pickled foods will increase the incidence of nasopharyngeal tumors by 2-7 times, because the nitrates in pickled foods can be reduced to nitrites by microorganisms, and when nitrites encounter amines in the human body, nitrosamines will be generated. Nitrosamines are a carcinogen, so frequent consumption of pickled foods is very likely to cause cancer.

People who live in a polluted environment for a long time, such as indoor formaldehyde; people who are exposed to cooking fumes for a long time, and people who work as chefs, because according to studies, cooking fumes can easily produce benzopyrene, which is a highly active carcinogen. People who are exposed to cooking fumes for a long time are more likely to develop nasopharyngeal cancer than ordinary people.

Through the above introduction, I believe everyone clearly knows that nasopharyngeal cancer is not a contagious disease, so after suffering from the disease, you can rest assured that it will not be transmitted to family and friends. However, when symptoms of nasopharyngeal cancer are found, you need to pay attention to the treatment of the disease, go to the hospital for relevant examinations in time, and then receive symptomatic treatment.
