Patient's question:
Doctor, I want to know if patients with gastric cardia cancer can often come into contact with babies. I mean, I have gastric cardia cancer but I live with my granddaughter. Will this cause any problems? Will this gastric cardia cancer be contagious to children? Do I need to be isolated?Doctor's answer:
Cancer is not contagious. It can only be said that there is a certain hereditary factor across generations, so it is unnecessary to isolate children from grandparents who have gastric cancer. However, it is best not to feed children with chewed food in daily life. Normal contact will never lead to infection. It is recommended that you try to consume some liquid food, eat warm and easily digestible things, and have small meals frequently. Also, it is important to go to the hospital for regular follow-up checks.
