Can I catch lung cancer from someone else?
Lung cancer is not contagious and cannot spread through physical contact or by breathing the same air. Each individual’s DNA is unique and therefore, their cells will not survive in another individual. However, it may appear to be contagious when it is due to hereditary factors and as it can be transferred from one individual to another with organ transplantation.
