Can rectal cancer be contagious between husband and wife?

Some people have only heard that sexually transmitted diseases can be contagious, but they don’t know whether cancer can be contagious to other people. Experts point out that in fact, whether cancer is contagious also needs to be judged based on the type of cancer. We should not say one-sidedly whether cancer is contagious, but should analyze it based on a specific cancer to get a result.

First of all, it is certain that cancer is not contagious. Although the exact cause of colorectal cancer is still unclear, clinical findings show that there is a certain connection between colorectal cancer and family history: if a person's first-degree family member, such as a parent, has had colorectal cancer, then his or her risk of developing the disease in his or her lifetime is 8 times higher than that of the general population [if a direct family member (parent, sibling or child) develops colorectal cancer before the age of 50, or if two or more people in the paternal or maternal family have colorectal cancer, it is considered a family history of colorectal cancer]. About 1/4 of new patients have a family history of colorectal cancer.

People who have direct relatives suffering from colorectal cancer need to pay more attention than ordinary people. They should eat more anti-cancer fruits and vegetables, such as sweet potatoes, cauliflower, blueberries, kiwis, etc. They should also pay attention to nutrition, take supplements at the right time, and increase their own immunity. They can take Chinese medicine containing about 16% ginseng essence extract ginsenoside Rh2 (life-protecting factor) according to their own situation to reduce the risk of colorectal cancer.
