Is jaundice caused by pancreatic cancer contagious?

In recent years, the incidence of pancreatic cancer has been increasing, and it develops rapidly. It is difficult to treat and difficult to detect in the late stage. After being discovered in the late stage, it is difficult to treat. Many patients lose their lives within less than half a year of discovery. So is jaundice caused by pancreatic cancer contagious? How should it be treated?

Clinically, jaundice is a typical symptom of pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic head cancer is caused by the compression of the bile duct by the pancreatic head tumor, which results in poor bile excretion and yellowing of the sclera, skin, and urine. At the same time, jaundice can easily damage the liver function, which in turn aggravates the jaundice, thus forming a vicious cycle. Therefore, pancreatic cancer patients should actively seek treatment after jaundice occurs, otherwise it will aggravate the progression of the disease. However, it is not contagious.
When jaundice occurs in pancreatic head cancer, the preferred treatment is surgery, such as cholechojejunostomy, biliary stent implantation, biliary drainage, etc. After surgery, jaundice can be relatively well resolved in most patients. In the later stage, anti-tumor treatment with traditional Chinese medicine can effectively alleviate the patient's symptoms and achieve long-term survival with the tumor by preventing tumor development.
