A member asked:
Can it be possible to get cancer from person who is having blood cancer via blood to blood contact?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Virtually impossible: Many attempts to transplant tumor in healthy patients have failed. When the same tumor was given to a cancer patient , probably because of a blocked, but not impaired immune system, the tumor took. In addition curettage in early endometrial Ca spreads tumor cells into the blood stream, but non of these cells take. Contact with blood having cancerous cells probably behave the same way.
