Will children be infected if they come into contact with lung cancer patients? In life, some diseases can be transmitted to others in some ways, such as through the respiratory tract. So, for lung cancer, can lung cancer be transmitted to children?

Lung cancer is a common respiratory tumor disease and also a malignant tumor. In recent years, the incidence and mortality of lung cancer have been increasing rapidly, and it has become a malignant disease that endangers human health.

Lung cancer is not contagious, so it cannot be transmitted to children, but it can spread. Lung cancer can spread not only locally, but also to nearby tissues, such as the space outside the lungs (costal septum), the pericardium, and may spread to more distant sites, such as lymph nodes, liver, bones, brain, and the other half of the lung. Lung cancer can also spread to the adrenal glands, which are located above the kidneys and can produce hormones. Lung cancer can also spread to the nearby spinal cord and vertebrae.

In addition, in recent years, the number of lung cancer patients in China has rapidly decreased to younger ages, and there have even been news reports of 10-year-old children suffering from lung cancer. Investigations have found that the culprit is the father who smokes all year round at home. Some fathers do not care about smoking in their children's rooms. Children are young and their chests are delicate. It is unbearable to do this all year round. Children are the hope of a family. Whether for the health of the children or their own health, parents should start to quit smoking to prevent lung cancer.

In addition, some children's schools are near the road, and children often run long distances on the roadside, which exposes them to a large amount of car exhaust and waste gas, which is also a potential risk of lung cancer. Therefore, actively advocating national smoking control and improving indoor and outdoor air environments are the most effective measures to prevent lung cancer.
