Is Lung Cancer Contagious Through Saliva?
Is lung cancer contagious through saliva . I know people say that's impossible but I want to know from a expert because what if that's a lie really, I mean if a cold or a illness similar can be caught just from particles in the air then why not cancer. Thanks in advance
