A member asked:
Is pancreatic cancer contagious?
30 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
No.: No cancer is contagious. Cancer does not spread from person-to-person like an infectious disease. Some cancer risks can be inherited from one family member to the other, other cancers can be 'clustered' amongst people who live close to one another due to common cancer-causing agents, but it is never spread directly through contact.
