Is nasopharyngeal cancer contagious?

Is nasopharyngeal cancer contagious? My father-in-law was diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer last month. But I am getting married to my boyfriend this month. After marriage, I will definitely live with them. Actually, my father-in-law is a very good person, but I am worried that he will infect me with the disease. So is nasopharyngeal cancer contagious?

The first is that nasopharyngeal cancer is not an infectious disease. You don't have to worry. He won't transmit the disease to you. So you can rest assured. In this case, there is no problem living with them. You won't get nasopharyngeal cancer just because you live with them.

The second thing I want to say is that cancer is a disease caused by cell mutation. It is not contagious. Most infectious diseases are caused by viruses, fungi, bacteria, etc. Therefore, nasopharyngeal cancer, a cancer caused by cell mutation, is not contagious.

The last thing I want to tell you is that nasopharyngeal cancer is treatable. And nasopharyngeal cancer is not as scary as everyone imagines. As long as everyone gets treatment in time after diagnosis, it can be cured. So don't worry about the problem of infection.

Note:

Cancer is not a terminal illness. With the development of science and technology, many cancers can be cured. So don't be scared when you hear about cancer.
