Is lymphoma contagious?

1. Lymphoma is a malignant tumor originating from lymph nodes or lymphatic tissues. Its main clinical manifestation is painless and progressive lymphadenopathy. The disease can occur at any age, but the peak age of onset is between 31 and 40 years old, with the peak of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma slightly earlier. The male to female ratio is 2 to 3:

2. Prevention: As the exact cause of malignant lymphoma is still unknown, it is difficult to take active and effective measures to prevent its occurrence. Clinically, according to the current research results on the cause of malignant lymphoma, appropriate prevention can be given to high-risk groups, which may help delay or block the occurrence of the disease. For patients who have achieved complete remission after treatment, if active prevention or treatment measures are given, it is possible to prolong the remission period or even prevent recurrence.

3. Lymphoma is not contagious. So far, it can be said with certainty that cancer is not contagious. In simple terms, contagion means that a disease is transmitted from one person to another through some means. Contagion must meet three conditions: the source of infection, the route of transmission, and the susceptible population. None of the three can be missing. Clinical data proves that cancer patients themselves are not the source of infection. Experts have conducted such an experiment. Cancerous tissue taken from a cancer patient and directly implanted in another person cannot survive and grow.
