No form of cancer is contagious. Leukemia is a cancer that starts in blood-forming tissue such as the bone marrow and causgees large numbers of abnormal blood cells to be produced and enter the blood.

Even if your body would come into contact with one of these abnormal cells, it would simply attack the cell and get rid of it with white blood cells, the body's defense team.
