Is pancreatic cancer contagious?

If there are pancreatic cancer patients around you and you have more contact with cancer patients, would you be afraid of being infected with pancreatic cancer? It is estimated that many people have such concerns. It would be terrible if they were infected with pancreatic cancer. Some pancreatic cancer patients even think that they were infected because there are pancreatic cancer patients among their relatives and friends. But don't worry, pancreatic cancer is not spread. Every patient is sick because of various causes such as lifestyle habits, not because of contact with pancreatic cancer patients.

Pancreatic cancer is a type of cancer. To find out whether it is an infectious disease or not, we need to find out whether cancer is contagious. This question has been raised for a long time, and a lot of observations and studies have been done. People have done experiments like this, putting animals with cancer and healthy animals together, and after a long period of observation, no direct contagion was found.

In hospitals, different types of cancer patients live in the same ward for a long time. Cancer patients and non-cancer patients live in the same ward for a long time, and there is no direct infection. Medical staff have long-term contact with cancer patients, and their cancer incidence rate has not increased. A cancer patient lives with his family for a long time, and there is no infection. Even if the cancer cells of one animal are buried in the tissues of another animal, it is difficult to cause cancer in the other animal.

Therefore, pancreatic cancer will not be transmitted. The causes of pancreatic cancer are pancreatic diseases, long-term high-fat and high-protein diet, etc., and it is also related to smoking and drinking. To prevent pancreatic cancer, we must start with these causes.
