Is liver cancer contagious if it is diagnosed in the hospital? Whether liver cancer is contagious depends on these three points

Liver cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in our country, with a very high mortality rate. Among malignant tumors, the mortality rate of liver cancer is second only to gastric cancer and esophageal cancer. With the increasing number of liver cancer patients, the question of whether liver cancer is contagious has gradually become the most talked about topic.

Is liver cancer contagious? There are mainly the following situations:

1. Liver cancer caused by viral hepatitis such as hepatitis B and hepatitis C is contagious. Since viral hepatitis itself is contagious, the liver cancer caused by it is also contagious. Is liver cancer contagious? For example, the main transmission routes of hepatitis B are blood transmission, sexual transmission, close contact in life, etc., so everyone should pay attention to it in life. For liver cancer caused by viral hepatitis, antiviral treatment should be actively carried out to prevent the disease from worsening.

2. Liver cancer caused by non-viral hepatitis such as fatty liver is not contagious. While actively receiving treatment, patients should also pay attention to their daily diet. A low-fat diet is preferred. High-fat foods should be avoided. More high-fiber foods can be eaten, and a regular diet is recommended.

3. Liver cancer caused by environmental factors such as drinking water pollution, smoking and drinking is not contagious. Patients should pay attention to quitting smoking and drinking to prevent the disease from worsening.

Families and friends of liver cancer patients do not need to worry about being infected. Liver cancer itself is not contagious. What is contagious is the hepatitis B virus. When a patient is diagnosed with liver cancer, do not panic. Face it correctly and objectively. Liver cancer is not as bad as patients imagine. They think that liver cancer is an incurable disease. Liver cancer patients should be detected and treated early. Choosing the right treatment method can effectively control the disease.

Liver cancer patients should keep a relatively calm state of mind in their daily life and actively cooperate with doctors in their treatment. As the saying goes, "anger hurts the liver," so liver cancer patients should avoid excessive emotional fluctuations in their daily life. They can do some light housework or some light sports activities such as walking, practicing Tai Chi, practicing Qigong, etc., but they should not feel tired as a principle, and must avoid heavy labor and intense sports activities.
