Is late stage kidney cancer contagious?

Is kidney cancer contagious? I believe this is a question that most kidney cancer patients and their families have in mind. Nowadays, people are becoming more and more aware of their own health, and they stay away from diseases that are not contagious. This has caused great psychological panic among kidney cancer patients. So is kidney cancer contagious? Let's take a look at the relevant introduction given by kidney cancer experts to resolve our doubts.

Is kidney cancer contagious? So far, it is certain that cancer is not contagious, so patients and their families can rest assured. Because the so-called contagion, simply put, is a disease that spreads from one person to another through some means. Contagion must meet three conditions: the source of infection, the route of transmission and the susceptible population, all three are indispensable. Clinical data prove that cancer patients themselves are not the source of infection. Experts have done such an experiment. The cancerous tissue removed from a cancer patient was directly implanted in another person and could not survive and grow. Although it is currently believed that the occurrence of certain cancers is related to certain viruses, such as cervical cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, and leukemia, it has not yet been confirmed that infection with certain viruses will definitely lead to certain cancers.

In addition, experts said that there is another strong basis for the fact that cancer is not contagious, which is analyzed from the global perspective. Cancer is not currently listed as an infectious disease in the world, and patients are not isolated as infectious diseases. Moreover, the incidence of cancer is not higher than that of the general population. Animal experiments have also proven that when cancerous animals and healthy animals are kept together for a long time, no contagion is found after repeated observation and examination.
