Can liver cancer be transmitted to family members?

Liver cancer is not transmitted to family members.

Liver cancer refers to malignant tumors that spread and metastasize from liver cells, epithelial cells in bile ducts or other parts. It is not an infectious disease, so it will not be transmitted to family members. However, primary liver cancer has certain genetic susceptibility, and is related to daily eating habits, living environment and other factors. If there are liver cancer patients in the family, the possibility of other family members suffering from liver cancer is relatively high.

The risk of liver cancer can be reduced by developing healthy eating habits, vaccination and active treatment of viral hepatitis in daily life.
