Is Basal Cell Carcinoma Contagious?
Question: Can XXXXXXX cell carcinoma be transferred to my partner through semen or secretions? Or bodily fluids
Brief Answer:
Considerations
Detailed Answer:
hello and thank you for sending the question.
Basal cell carcinoma is not considered to be a contagious type of malignancy.
At this point I have not found any reported cases that this can be transferred via secretions or bodily fluid.
I would recommend that you continue to follow up with your primary care doctor if you currently have basal cell carcinoma.
Again we do not have any evidence in the literature that suggests that basal cell carcinoma is contagious with bodily fluid or saliva.
Sincerely,
Dr. Galamaga
