Cancer is not contagious disease and therefore cannot spread through kissing, or touching. A healthy person cannot catch cancer from a person who has the disease, nor can it be spread by close contact with a cancer patient. Only in rare circumstance in which cancer can be passed from one person to another involves organ or tissue transplant.
