Is liver cancer contagious?

Liver cancer poses a great threat to human life, so once the disease is discovered, active treatment must be taken. Liver cancer itself is not contagious, but we must pay attention to the treatment and prevention of liver cancer.

1. Liver cancer itself is not contagious. However, the vast majority of liver cancer patients suffer from hepatitis, which eventually develops into cirrhosis and eventually into liver cancer. Therefore, you must pay attention to self-protection when caring for these patients as you will inevitably come into contact with their blood, body fluids and secretions. Be sure to wash your hands frequently after eating and after get off work to prevent diseases from entering the body through the mouth.

2. If the patient's surface antigen is positive, or if the patient is a virus carrier with a negative surface antigen but positive core antibody after mutation, their blood, body fluids, and secretions are contagious, but normal skin contact is not contagious. If the patient's e antigen is positive, it means that the patient is highly contagious and the hepatitis B virus is replicating at a high rate. If the patient's e antibody is positive, it means that the patient's hepatitis B virus is replicating at a low level and is less contagious.

3. Touching a liver cancer patient's mobile phone will definitely not transmit liver cancer. If the patient has hepatitis and the mobile phone has the patient's blood, body fluids or secretions, it depends on your own resistance. Generally, you will not be infected unless your own resistance is particularly poor at that time.
