Can Cancer spread from one person to another?

Answer 1

nop or you will find the people who have cancer are 10 times more than the number today

Answer 2

Certainly not! Cancer is a non-communicable disease, which does not spread from one person to another. It occurs due to some changes in the cells due to which the cell multiplication becomes uncontrolled. Certain cancers may have a hereditary causation which means a person may be at higher risk of getting cancer if his/ her relatives have had that particular cancer. These cancers are breast, ovarian, colorectal, and other less common cancers

Answer 3

Cancer spread only ,who are effected,not one person to another A nurse never effected by a cancer patient.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Cancer is NOT CONTAGIOUS!! We have had many friends with cancer and my husband
and I have both had cancer. You can't catch it from anyone. Please don't worry about that.
If you know someone who has cancer & you're worried about getting it from that person--
DON'T--IT CAN'T HAPPEN. However, you can be an awesome support to a friend or family member who may have it.

Answer 6

Everybody says no, but I have an argument to make. I would like to say YES. Now, heres my suggestion. It is all true, I cannot figure out exactly how it is passed.
Lets look at liver cancer for our first example. Asian people like to eat in a family style type of dinner. They would each grab a bowl of rice, and use chopsticks to pick from the dishes on the table. Everybody picks from these dishes. And so, saliva gets passed around. Hepatitis is passed around through saliva. And hepatitis is a pre cancer. So, in Asian countries, some people are practically born with hepatitis. I believe in South East Asia, its like 95%-99% of the people born have hepatitis. And if they dont get it when they are born, they have practically a 100% percent of catching it due to their eating habits. If a visitor comes, then he she is 99.9% the person to pass it to the family if nobody in the family had it. How many visitors do you have a year? What if you were the visitor at someone else's house? Then you pass it to your family, and your family passes it on to someone else..etc etc...So, well, anyways..That hepatitis will eventually become cancer. When it becomes cancer depends on each person. And the percentage for a person developing cancer because they have hepatitis is very high. I dont know the exact percentage though.
My second example are the atomic bombs that were thrown into Hiroshima, Japan during World War 2. This caused leukemia. Before those atomic bombs, the world never knew leukemia. We never had it. It was only after the atomic bombs that we started to develop leukemia. But, the bombs were THROWN INTO JAPAN ONLY. So, how is it that people in the United States get leukemia? Cancer is also hereditary, but not everybody is related to a Japanese person. Then how did these people develop leukemia? You might get it from being close to the radiation from the atomic bombs when they were thrown. But, some of these people never even been to Japan or anywhere close. Some never even left the states. So, how was this leukemia passed around?
Just because we dont know how it gets passed around does not mean that it cannot be passed around. The evidence is certainly there and in front of you. But, in which was it was, or is being passed around, we dont know. It is correct that it is not contagious. You cannot get cancer by touching or being around a person with cancer. But, thats questionable because you dont know if it is being passed to you. The reason you dont know is because cancer takes a while to develop. There are no cases of a person visiting or living with a cancer patient and developing cancer. I am not paranoid, and I am not scared to be with a cancer patient day and night for years. It makes no difference to me. But, I do believe there is a way that cancer is passed, I just dont know how it is passed. It might be difficult or extremely elusive to figure out because each person develops cancer on their own time, depending on their health, their body, their habits, etc etc. Overall though, the first example and second examples do give proof that it is passed around. But, through some other medium that we have not figured out yet.
