Yeah sounds about right, there are after all many different factors which can increase the risk, so its pretty much mitigated even if it were the case.

Well I just saw that others made this comment too, so consider this redundant.

There are actually transmittable (they can spread ok their own) types of cancer, however only three are know to occur in mammals (dogs, tasmanian devils and syrian hamsters).
