Is colon cancer contagious?

With the progress of the times, people's living standards are getting higher and higher. While you are enjoying life with your family, have you ever thought about paying attention to some cancers? Although modern technology is advanced, the symptoms of early cancer patients are extremely subtle due to the hidden nature of colon cancer. Clinically, most colon cancer patients have already reached the middle and late stages when they show obvious symptoms. Here, we remind our friends that even if you are not sick, you should pay attention to it. Even if you don't consider yourself, you should consider your family. The health of your family is your own health.

Colon cancer is not contagious because cancer cells are not contagious, but some cancer-causing viruses are contagious, such as the hepatitis B virus that causes liver cancer, Helicobacter pylori that causes gastric cancer, and the Epstein-Barr virus that causes nasopharyngeal cancer.

How cancer is produced Cancer is a new organism in the human body (something that should not exist under normal circumstances). This new organism is composed of a group of cancer cells that develop freely without following physiological needs. Cancer cells do not have the functions of normal cells. Due to their rapid and irregular growth, they not only consume a large amount of nutrients in the human body, but also destroy the tissue structure and function of normal organs.

There is a gene that can cause cancer in human cells. Under normal circumstances, oncogenes are not only harmless to the human body, but also play an important role in cell growth. When oncogenes are repeatedly exposed to external carcinogenic factors (such as radiation, viruses, chemicals, etc.), the static oncogenes in the cells are activated, the gene structure mutates, and the normal cell functions rebel, so the cells become cancerous. In addition to eroding and spreading to the surrounding areas in an invasive growth manner, cancer cells can also spread to other organs and tissues through other pathways, causing these tissues and organs to develop the same tumor. This situation is called "metastasis."

The above is the introduction to "Is colon cancer contagious?" When the above symptoms appear, the patient should go to a regular hospital for treatment. Early detection and early treatment can effectively cure colon cancer. People who are related to the pathogenic factors of colon cancer are advised to take preventive measures for colon cancer.
