Cancer is a disease that is very harmful to health and can cause death. In the late stages, it is very difficult to cure. Lung cancer is a type of cancer. Men are more likely to get it than women. So, if someone has lung cancer, will it be contagious? Lung cancer is a malignant tumor that endangers human health and life. The incidence and mortality rates are also very high. Many men die from this disease. This disease is inseparable from the patient's living environment and some bad habits. So, if someone has lung cancer, will they transmit the disease to others? 1. Lung cancer is not contagious. It is only caused by the patient's own cell gene mutation. Infectious diseases require three necessary conditions to be contagious: a source of infection, a route of transmission, and a susceptible population. Infectious diseases require bacteria, fungi, viruses, protozoa, and chlamydia. Lung cancer does not have the above-mentioned pathogens, so there is no need to worry about lung cancer being contagious and you can safely contact patients.2 Lung cancer is a relatively common primary malignant tumor. The main site of occurrence is the patient's bronchial mucosa, which is also called bronchial lung cancer. This cancer can also be divided into early, middle and late stages. Early patients will have cough, low fever, chest pain, and bloody sputum, while late patients will have edema, hoarseness, and shortness of breath. Late-stage lung cancer will also have cancer cell metastasis. 3 There are many reasons why patients suffer from lung cancer. Smoking is the main reason. Nowadays, many men and women smoke. Long-term smoking will allow some chemicals to damage the patient's trachea. In addition, the patient's working environment and occupation. If you work in an air-polluted environment, the chance of developing lung cancer is also high. Others are ionizing radiation, heredity, chronic lung infection, air pollution, etc. Lung cancer can also be treated. Early treatment will be much better than late treatment. In the early stage, resection surgery is required, while in the middle and late stages, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and traditional Chinese medicine treatment are required. Lung cancer in different body constitutions and at different stages has different treatment methods. Patients must listen to the doctor's advice and actively receive treatment to avoid death. |
