NO CANCER IS NOT AT ALL CONTAGIOUS and it will not spread by touching a patient.
Many patients and their partners worry that cancer is contagious. News stories about viruses and cancer can also be confusing. Contrary to the myths, a cancer cell from one person’s body simply cannot take root and grow in someone else. Not only are all cells fragile, needing the proper setting to survive, but the partner’s immune system knows the cancer cell is foreign and destroys it. Cancer itself is not contagious.-
