Uncle Zhang, who is in his early 60s this year, has a son who graduated from a famous university and found a good job.

3. Cancer is not contagious, but some carcinogens are contagious
Some family members suffer from cancer together, and many people think that it is caused by cancer infection, but in fact cancer is not contagious, but some common carcinogenic factors may be contagious.
Cancer is not an infectious disease. After all, most cancers are caused by genetic mutations. Even if the cancer cells are put into other people's bodies, they will not survive, so there is no need to worry about cancer transmission.
What may be transmitted are carcinogenic factors such as hepatitis B virus, human papilloma virus, Helicobacter pylori , and some common living habits, etc., which may all be common carcinogenic factors.
