Is bone cancer contagious

Whether bone cancer is contagious is a question that concerns all bone cancer patients and their families, but everyone is not so sure about the answer. The following is a detailed introduction to whether bone cancer is contagious, hoping it will be helpful to everyone.

Bone cancer has always been a disease with a higher incidence rate among cancers. Many people do not have a deep understanding of bone cancer and are afraid that bone cancer may be contagious. In fact, this situation does not exist. First of all, I can tell you for sure that bone cancer is not contagious at any stage. Experts point out that bone cancer and other bone cancers are malignant tumors caused by the abnormal proliferation of local cells under the action of various different carcinogenic factors, and the loss of normal cell morphology and dynamics. The pathogenesis of the tumor is caused by abnormal differentiation inside the cells. Therefore, advanced bone cancer is not contagious, and you do not have to worry about this.

Cancer cells in the patient's body are actually a group of abnormal cells that have lost control and show invasive growth. They not only destroy adjacent normal tissues and organs, but can also transfer to all parts of the body through the lymphatic system and blood circulation, and absorb a large amount of nutrients, grow and proliferate rapidly, causing the patient's systemic failure and even death. Although cancer cells can spread or metastasize everywhere in the patient's body, they will not be transmitted from one person to another like bacteria and viruses. To oneself, other people's cancer cells are a kind of foreign body, and the body can destroy other people's cancer cells through its powerful immune rejection ability. Therefore, other people's cancer cells cannot survive in one's own body.

The above is a detailed answer to the question of whether bone cancer is contagious. I hope it can be helpful to everyone. I wish the patient a speedy recovery.
