A. Cannot be spread from a sick person to a healthy person
B. Can be spread from a sick person to a healthy person
C. Affects the shall of hair
D. None of the above

Answer 1

Hint: The abnormal cell growth which can potentially invade or spread to other parts of the body. Benign or non-cancerous, types of tumors do not spread to other parts of the body. Malignant tumors or cancer are dangerous, they continue to grow and spread quickly and even lead to death.

Complete answer: Cancer is not contagious. Contagious means spread from one person to another by direct contact. A sick person cannot spread cancer to a healthy person. By close contact or things like kissing, sex, touch, sharing meals or through the air, cancer cannot be spread.
-The possible way that cancer would spread is through organ or tissue from a donor with cancer cells in it during transplantation. The risk of passing through transplantation is extremely low. Organ donors should be carefully screened to reduce this risk of spreading cancer.
-Even though there is no evidence that cancer spreads by blood transmission, blood banks do not accept blood. A healthy person cannot get cancer from someone who is sick.
-Cancer treatment like chemotherapy, targeted therapy, radiation therapy, or a stem cell ( bone marrow) transplant causes hair loss, which is the common side effect of those treatments. Hair loss is the most stressful and traumatic effect of chemotherapy radiation.

Hence, the correct answer is Option C.

Note: Cancer is also called malignancy. There are more than 100 types of cancers. Cancer cells appear in one area and then spread throughout the body via lymph nodes. A person can also have more than one type of cancer at a time.
