Is cancer a contagious disease?

Infectious diseases are common in people, which requires us to exercise caution when communicating with patients to prevent infection.

Among the diseases that have become the significant number of recent cases, cancerous tumors of different types, can cancer be transmitted from one person to another?

Daniel Shibliyev, a specialist in cancer and immunodeficiency, says that cancer is not possible by infection and that many tests have been done in the area, indicating that a person can not be infected with cancer if your immune system is functioning properly. "Most cancer diseases are multi-genes, that is, many genes must be misdiagnosed, in addition to adverse environmental conditions," he said.

André Bellev, also an oncologist, shares Shepliyev's opinion: he says that if cancer can be transmitted by an infection, which many doctors suffer mainly, they communicate directly with patients on an ongoing basis.
