Is advanced pancreatic cancer contagious?
Disease description:
A friend of mine is now in the late stage of pancreatic cancer. I plan to visit him, but since my own immunity is relatively low, I'd like to know in advance: can advanced cancer be contagious?

Advanced pancreatic cancer is generally not contagious. Pancreatic cancer is a highly malignant tumor disease, which may result from a combination of factors such as inherited genetic mutations, gene alterations, and environmental influences. Since this disease lacks both infectious sources and transmission routes, it typically does not spread from person to person.
