Is liver cancer contagious in the late stage? When liver cancer develops to the late stage, you should pay attention to these things

Liver cancer is a malignant tumor that occurs in the liver. The advanced stage of liver cancer is also quite serious. Many people are concerned about whether liver cancer is contagious. For this kind of question, you must know that liver cancer itself is not contagious, but you still need to pay attention to problems such as hepatitis B.

1. Liver cancer itself is not contagious, but 90% of liver cancer is caused by hepatitis B. Many patients with advanced liver cancer have positive test results for the three major hepatitis B virus (H3+), which are contagious, but usually transmitted through body fluids or blood. If you do not have any wounds on your body when you come into contact with liver cancer patients, you do not have to worry. Chronic hepatitis is one of the main carcinogenic factors for liver cancer. Most patients with chronic hepatitis are contagious. If the patient has liver cancer caused by viral hepatitis, people who are close to him may be infected by viral hepatitis, which indirectly increases the incidence of liver cancer. Therefore, strengthening the prevention and treatment of various types of chronic hepatitis will effectively curb the occurrence of liver cancer.

2. In addition to chronic hepatitis, there are also many carcinogenic factors in life, and these carcinogenic factors often exist around us. According to expert research, common factors that induce liver cancer include: aflatoxin in food, drinking water pollution, alcoholism, smoking, nitrosamines, and trace element imbalance. Due to the combined influence of the above factors, liver cells in the human body may lose normal regulation, excessive unlimited growth or mutation, and eventually form a tumor that is not controlled by the body and can merge with normal tissues and organs at the site where the mutated cells are generated, forming a tumor.

3. We often find that family members of some liver cancer patients also get liver cancer. This is mainly because families often have common food, water sources, eating habits, etc. These factors are the main reasons for this situation.
