The assertion is correct, the reason is not.
Communicable diseases are diseases that can spread from one individual to another. They can spread through touch, droplets, or if infectious particles are inhaled, and body fluids. Communicable diseases are also called transmissible or infectious diseases.
Example: cold, and strep throat.
On the other hand, cancer is produced by a mutation in the gene sequence that causes uncontrolled cell division. Certain substances have also been shown to cause cancer.
