No. They're different. I believe Ebola is contagious between humans, while cancer is not.

Does Ebola virus cause cancer?
No, the Ebola virus does not cause cancer. Ebola virus disease (EVD) is a severe and often fatal illness caused by infection with the Ebola virus, a member of the Filoviridae family. Ebola virus primarily affects humans and other primates and is transmitted through contact with bodily fluids of infected individuals or animals. Cancer, on the other hand, is a group of diseases characterized by the uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells in the body. Cancer can develop from a variety of factors, including genetic mutations, environmental exposures, lifestyle factors, and infectious agents such as certain viruses and bacteria. However, the Ebola virus is not known to be a causative agent of cancer. While some viruses have been linked to the development of certain types of cancer, such as human papillomavirus (HPV) and cervical cancer or hepatitis B and C viruses and liver cancer, there is no evidence to suggest that Ebola virus infection contributes to the development of cancer in humans. The primary concern with Ebola virus infection is its severe acute illness, which can lead to symptoms such as fever, headache, muscle pain, fatigue, vomiting, diarrhea, and, in severe cases, hemorrhage and organ failure. Prompt medical care and supportive treatment are essential for managing Ebola virus disease and preventing its spread within communities.
