Detailed explanation-1: -MEGAN: So, myth busted-cancer is not a contagious disease. There is nothing that will cause a cancer to be passed from one person to another, except for extremely rare circumstances. Some genes can lead certain families to develop certain kinds of cancers, but one does not inherit cancer; one inherits genes.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cancer is NOT contagious You cannot “catch” cancer from someone else. Close contact or things like sex, kissing, touching, sharing meals, or breathing the same air cannot spread cancer. Cancer cells from someone with cancer are not able to live in the body of another healthy person.
Detailed explanation-3: -Blood banks also do not accept blood from cancer patients, even though there is no evidence that cancer can be transmitted by blood transfusion. The idea that cancer is contagious is a myth that you can safely ignore.
