Is advanced liver cancer contagious?

1. Liver cancer is mostly caused by drinking water pollution, smoking and drinking. Most of the patients are men. Liver cancer is a relatively serious disease, especially in the late stage of liver cancer, which will cause severe pain to patients. Is late stage liver cancer contagious? Will it cause harm to family members?

2. Patients infected with specific pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, parasites, etc., transmit these pathogens to normal people through appropriate transmission routes. Liver cancer is a disease in which the body's own cells undergo malignant transformation and abnormal proliferation. There are no pathogens excreted, so it is not contagious.

3. Epidemiological survey data show that people who have close contact with liver cancer patients are not more likely to develop liver cancer than those who have not had contact with liver cancer patients. Therefore, there is generally no need to take isolation measures for liver cancer patients, and people who have had contact with liver cancer patients do not need to be nervous or worried.

4. Liver cancer mostly occurs on the basis of hepatitis B. Since hepatitis B can be transmitted through close contact, people who have close contact with hepatitis B can be vaccinated with hepatitis B vaccine to prevent the transmission of hepatitis B. In a certain sense, it can also prevent liver cancer, but this does not mean that liver cancer is an infectious disease.
