No, cancer is not contagious. It cannot be transmitted from one person to another like a cold or flu. Cancer is a result of abnormal growth and division of cells in someone's body. It typically starts from genetic changes in a single cell that then multiply and form a tumor. While some viral infections, such as human papillomavirus (HPV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), can increase the risk of developing certain types of cancer, the cancer itself is not contagious. If you have concerns about cancer, it's always best to consult with a healthcare professional for accurate information and guidance.
