Are brain tumors contagious? For example, if a person has it, and coughs and sneezes without covering their mouths, would it be contagious for other people??
I have read that brain tumors are not contagious, but I do question how much research has gone into that to really define whether or not it is.. Since, the cause of it is still unknown.

Is this a serious question???
You said yourself, "I read that brain tumors are not contagious." Why would reading it here, at Yahoo Answers, convince you anymore than wherever you originally read that they are not contagious?
This can't be a serious question.
And what's even more unbelievable than THIS question is the 4th idiot down (sweetnotsour302) who actually said,
"Good question, tho."
Really? THAT was a good question? (Come on now...are you people SERIOUSLY this stupid?!)

I assure you brain tumors are not contagious. Go to the following website, there is many many links on the various research into brain and spinal tumors.

Brain tumors are not contagious in the sense that you can catch it from another person like a cold. But they can be passed from one generation to the next, because they are a form of cancer and cancer can be passed through DNA in family members, if the family has a history of cancer.

No, they're not contagious. But they are really dangerous. My father has had one for a couple months now. And everyone around him is and has been fine.

Ok, wear a full body decontamination suit, eat a lot of Zinc, and live in a oxygen tent...or just accept your research was right and that the only imminent danger you are in is a anxiety attack.

No, a brain tumor is not a virus.
