And that was my point.....my comment was meant to be sarcastic due to the OPs thread title.
(Emphasis mine)
Four main infections account for 1.9 million of these types of cancer cases, including human papillomaviruses (HPV), Helicobacter pylori, and hepatitis B (HBV) and hepatitis C viruses (HCV).

Conclusion: Our results suggest that H. pylori infection is not associated with development of pancreatic cancer. (Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 2008;17(5):1188–94)

Cancer is contagious because pathogens are contagious.
you have cancer z due to bacteria x and then bacteria x infects patient w who then gets cancer z.
hence cancer is contagious.
do you understand.
this also explains why cancer has become a epidemic because it is contagious.
