I'm really worried about the possibility of cancer being contagious. Could a pregnant wife get cancer from her husband if he has it? What precautions should she take to ensure her health and the baby's?

NO its not contagious but few cancers are heriditary and runs in the family

View allI had stage 1 T2 N0 Mx rectal cancer surgery last month how likely is recurrence and what signs should I watch for? Just had surgery for stage 1 rectal cancer (T2 N0 Mx) and I'm anxious about it coming back what's my risk and how often should I get checked? My rectal cancer was stage 1 T2 N0 Mx surgery went well but I keep worrying it'll return. What's the usual follow-up plan to catch recurrence early? Had surgery for early-stage rectal cancer (T2 N0 Mx) last month should I be super worried about recurrence or are the odds in my favor? Stage 1 T2 N0 Mx rectal cancer removed last month what's the chance it comes back and are there lifestyle changes to lower the risk?
This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.

I'm really worried about my mom. She's had these enlarged supraclavicular lymph nodes for two years now. There are no signs of TB like fever, weight loss, or fatigue, and she's been managing her diabetes pretty well. There was nothing in the lymph nodes when tested for CBNAAT. The ultrasound showed they're quite large, and the biopsy results indicated granulomatous lymphadenitis. The document says TB needs to be ruled out, and the AFB stain came back negative. They also mentioned something about doing a TBPCR test to make sure it's not tuberculosis. The microscopic findings talked about some kind of granulomas but no caseous necrosis was found. TB PCR didn't show any sign of MTB or non-TB mycobacteria. I'm quite confused and worried about what all this means. Is this something serious? What should we do next?
That could be non specific TB infection,might need complete course of ATT, visit physician for appropriate management
