is cancer transmittable through blood?

Some neoplasms (including cancers) are caused by viruses - think HPV - which are transmittable. Although that's not spreading 'cancer' as such.\n\nIn theory, were a cancerous cell which had broken off a tumor on it's way to metastasise somewhere else to happen to be drawn up into a needle and that cell were to be transferred in a needlestick injury (which is unbelievably rare to say the least - needlesticks aren't as dangerous as people might think) and that cell were to not be clobbered by the host immune system as soon as it entered the second person and that cell were to settle somewhere with a blood supply enabling to mitose then yes, cancer is transmittable.\n\nI just wouldn't place any bets on it happening.

check out the link for the whole article..\n\nResearchers have identified a molecule that appears to play a critical part in how cancers spread to bones.\n\nAlthough the experiments were done in mice, the Austrian researchers hope the finding will lead to new treatments that can keep cancers such as breast, prostate and skin cancer from spreading to bone.\n\nThey found that a protein in bone called RANKL communicates with a receptor in breast, prostate and skin cancer cells, telling them to migrate.

Cancer is an erosion of the genes.. its when free radicals attack the molecular structure of cells and eventually destroy the cell.. it can attack any part of the body but I would say it must come through the blood or vital organs.. which process/carry foods.. I believe cancer is created from ingestion of free radical and toxic additives and preservatives.. apart from the obvious like asbestos which breaks up and then spears the tissue until it bleeds internally and becomes infected then cancerous.. or simply blocks the lungs which become clogged with mucos.. \n\noverall i strongly feel an anti-oxidant rich diet will help heal and avoid cancer.. i am about to go on a major detox.. and a friend of mine is a therapist.. he discovered a herb.. which is currently being "investigated" and tested.. but he claims he administered in trails to numerous patients.. some were completely healed others who were terminal had lengthy life entensions and no pain.. this plant is known to the aboriginal people.. who never get cancer incidently.. look into this.. i cant say the name- my mate will kill me.. but it is found in mercury rich soil.. i know that much.. and is a dar k green plant found in the desert which is very anti-oxidant rich.. a short leafy plant..  there is a simular plant recently discovered in africa too.. and a lot of new herbs and plants are now being checked out.. hopefuly theres still some left to discover.. maybe we should ask the aboriginals .. they might have all the cures we want.. if we listen to them..

Thats an old wives tale. No, they don't.\n\nHickeys are blood drawn to the surface. It is like a bruise. If that were to cause cancer, then most of the worlds population would have cancer due to bruising.

Yes it can spread or "metastasize".  One of my first cousins recently died of it.  He was in his early 50's and by the time he died the cancer had spread to his bones, [mainly his spine] as well as to his brain.    Anytime it spreads to the bones you can expect significant pain.\n\nIf you are interesting in learning more, http://www.lungcanceronline.org/\n\nhas lots of info.

My FIL was diagnosed with this just 8 days ago, so I've been learning a lot.  It travels in a similar way to blood cancer (Leukimia).  It moves through the lymph system in your body.  Since you have lymph nodes through out your body, it can easily and quickly spread from one area to the next.  It can be very aggressive, but there is proof that it does respond better to treatment than it's cousing, Non-Hodgkins.

I'm not sure if any doctor has cured it because there is no cure for cancer, yes we can kill it, remiss it but cure it? I don't know about that because the virus is still out there and living in people.\n\nWith blood cancer, the stem cells, bone marrow, and newer chemo's can remiss it and there is a chance that the person could always be living with cancer like people live with diabetes or asthma.\n\nHere is a link to a good reference site:\n\nhttp://www.cancer.gov/clinicaltrials/results/blood-cancer-transplants0101

Let's try education. HIV can be transmitted via sex, but also by blood transfusions, blood contact, kissing, needles and other methods of bodily fluid transfer. HIV is not a conviction and does not condem a person for a way of life. Some have been transfered unknowingly by someone else's life style. It is not a judgement. and should not be treated as such.

Etiology(cause) of atherosclerosis is theorized to be damage to the blood vessel inner layer which is called endothelium.  This can happen in "normal" person (those with no obvious disease/health problems) - though hypertension can contribute to increased likelihood of damage.  On top of this the blood contains much fatty stuff (cholesterol etc) which gets deposited on the injury site.  So there's no agent that spreads from a diseased person to another, blood transfusion might be an artificial way to contract the "risk factors" but this is insignificant and wouldn't make it contagious

As far as I know worldwide, the answer is no.  This is because it points at the wrong type of an awareness.\n\nThe following may not be suitable for your project, but out of interest, click on "Dhaxem and Cancer" on the Dhaxem website. It lists the physical, mental and emotional, and Soul related causes of cancer.  These are never properly explained to the sufferers, let alone to the general public.  This is for political reasons: Cancer is a big business and every cancer patient is a profit unit, to them.  It is a harsh world we are living in, and people are rarely fed the truth by those in charge of the media.

There is no proof for such possibility. The virus has a very weak environmental susceptibility and is not able to be transmitted via contaminated surfaces. Modes of transmission are sexual, vertical, blood or blood components transfusion, broken skin+infected blood and contaminated needles used by injection drug users.\nThe disease is diagnosed when an opportunistic infection e.g. P Cranii P or malignancy e.g. K. Sarcoma are detected, HIV antibodies in the blood and the increased numbers of T cells in the blood.

"Malignancy" usually refers to whether the cancer is of a type to spread rapidly or not.

I'm so sorry to hear about your father's illness. It must be very difficult for you as well. I do not have any medical knowledge about the way cancer spreads. You might try asking his doctors, nurses, or the hospice workers if they know. Sorry I couldn't be of help. God Bless.

Aids, STD, HCV are transmitted via blood. Open sores on the mouth or on the vigina are problems. Blood is the intergal vehicle for passage though.
