There's no set way to tell if a bat that bites you has rabies. While only 0.05% of all bats actually have rabies, it is still a fatal virus and you should never take chances.
If you ever handle a bat, go to the hospital and get checked as soon as possible. Bat bites are slight and can often be overlooked, so you may have been bitten without realizing it. Always get yourself checked out if you are bitten by any strange mammal- rabies is 100% fatal, so it's better to be safe than sorry.

Cancer does not affect the seriousness of the bite. Rabies does. If the dog has rabies, then this is considered dangerous and should be acted on immediately. If the dog does not have rabies, do not be relaxed. The bite may still have infection due to other unpredictable reasons. With or without cancer, with or without rabies, better fo to the doctor and vet to have the dog and victim checked up.
