Can liver cancer be transmitted to family members?

Can liver cancer be passed on to family members?

1. Liver cancer is generally not contagious. Liver cancer and other malignant tumors are not infectious diseases and are not contagious. However, many liver cancers are caused by hepatitis B virus infection. Hepatitis B virus may be contagious, but it is not contagious in daily life. It is mainly due to the spread of hepatitis, including the following three types: blood transmission.

2. Now, after cancer is diagnosed, treatment is started as soon as possible. The control of early and mid-stage cancer cells is still ideal, but the effect is relatively poor in the late stage. During treatment, attention should be paid to the patient's balanced diet and nutrition. Whether liver cancer is contagious needs to be judged according to the condition of liver cancer. If it is caused by fatty liver, alcoholic hepatitis and other hepatitis, liver cancer is not contagious, but if it is infectious viral hepatitis such as hepatitis B and hepatitis C, it is contagious.

How long can you live with liver cirrhosis in the late stage of liver cancer?

Advanced liver cirrhosis generally presents as decompensated liver cirrhosis. Patients may have abdominal effusion, repeated infections, gastrointestinal bleeding, hepatic encephalopathy, and even hepatorenal syndrome or hepatopulmonary syndrome in some patients.

For advanced liver cirrhosis, there are many factors that affect survival, such as whether the primary disease is treated, treatment complications, whether there are critical complications, etc. Liver cancer is highly malignant.

Most patients with cirrhosis develop liver cancer and are in the late stage of liver cancer, with a relatively short survival time. The average survival time for most patients is about 1 to 2 years; if the treatment at this stage is well controlled, it is possible to survive for more than three years.
