Hi,
If a person is injected with blood containing lukemia, will that person be infected with lukemia. Is lukemia contagious.
Another question is whether any type of cancer can be induced??

The answer is incorrect. Certain types of leukemia are transmitted through a retrovirus and can definitely be caused by a blood transfusion.
Cancer can be induced by exposure to radiation and chemicals, particuliarly those that cause free radicals to be produced.
