Is colorectal cancer contagious?

People's fear of cancer often leads to some abnormal psychology. For example, some people think that colorectal cancer is a contagious disease. So is colorectal cancer contagious?

People who lack relevant knowledge may think that colorectal cancer is contagious, but this view is unscientific. After many scholars' research and experimental observations, it is believed that colorectal cancer cells are not contagious, that is, colorectal cancer is not contagious and is not an infectious disease. Since the diagnosis of cancer often depends on fiber colonoscopy and pathological biopsy, any form of census must consider the workload, economic costs and social tolerance. The same is true for humans. In cancer hospitals, no cancer patients living in the same ward have been found to infect each other.

Colorectal cancer is not contagious between humans, so you should rest assured. Doctors, nurses, and care workers who have close contact with patients in hospitals have never been reported to have contracted cancer. In fact, someone has conducted a survey: the incidence of cancer among medical personnel and researchers engaged in tumor prevention and treatment is not higher than that of people in the same area. There are also couples who have lived together for a long time, and after one of them has cancer, they still spend every day together, and there is no phenomenon of contagion between each other. As for the inoculation of cancer cells, in the laboratory, cancer living cells of the same animal are inoculated into the same animal or athymic nude mice, and the same animal tumor specimens can be obtained. Experiments have proved that colorectal cancer is not contagious.

Through the above common knowledge about colorectal cancer, we can understand that colorectal cancer is not contagious, and even family members and relatives of colorectal cancer patients will not infect each other. The hereditary nature of colorectal cancer is not the same as the contagiousness, so people should have a correct understanding of colorectal cancer.
