According to statistics, 95% of liver cancer patients have hepatitis, and hepatitis is contagious. Therefore, it is not difficult to guess that if one person in a family has hepatitis and the others do not take protective measures, they are likely to be infected. Because hepatitis is contagious, many people think that liver cancer is also contagious. In fact, not all liver and gallbladder diseases are contagious, and liver cancer is not. Liver cancer is not contagious, does not meet the conditions for infection, has no pathogens, and has no susceptible population. Although liver cancer has a family clustering phenomenon, it is not caused by infection, but by genetic inheritance, mutual living conditions and other reasons.

Liver cancer itself is not directly contagious. The occurrence of liver cancer is closely related to infectious diseases such as hepatitis B and hepatitis C. If the patient has viral hepatitis and is converted to hepatitis B, he may be infected during the viral hepatitis stage. Liver cancer is also accompanied by active hepatitis, so it is contagious. The cause of infection is hepatitis, not liver cancer. Liver cancer itself is not contagious. However, the hepatitis that causes liver cancer symptoms is highly contagious. Therefore, once you have hepatitis, you need to seek medical treatment in time, and the patient's relatives should also pay attention and take protective measures to avoid infection.

Hepatocellular carcinoma is a non-infectious disease. Most liver cancers in China occur on the basis of hepatitis B or hepatitis C. Neither hepatitis B nor hepatitis C has been properly treated. After hepatitis and cirrhosis occur, liver cancer eventually develops. Although HCC is not contagious, its underlying disease is contagious, which leads some patients to mistakenly believe that HCC is contagious. Therefore, if liver cancer patients have hepatitis B or hepatitis C, they should avoid direct blood and blood contact with patients to prevent infection.
