like having meal together or use the bowl, cups, folks that patients used. i read some articles said cancer is noncontagious, even they exact the cancer cell from the patient and implant into normal body, the cancer cells couldn't survive. But, i don't really know if oral cancer is also nonctagious.

It is not contageous and I know a lot about it my sister had it and is fine today. But, I would not eat, drink or otherwise come in contact with patients or even family as far as this goes. Meaning sharing or handling and not washing my hands after. I never drink after anyone except my husband and that is because I do other things with only him too.lol There are things like hepatitis C and herpes and other things that need to be avoided and it is just good sense to avoid contact with these things. Wash hands very well with hot soapy water after handeling these utensils, if this your job and use precautions that make sense. Just for your own safety.

Oropharyngeal cancer is not contageous, but due to the frequent occurence of increased salivation, smell and/or blood streaking, you might want to avoid mouth to mouth contact.
