Short answer: No, it doesn't.
Explanation: Although hand sanitizer can be overused to the point where it's not worth using at all, there have been no cases of cancer coming from hand sanitizers using Isopropyl_alcohol, Ethanol, or Propan-1-ol. I suppose anything is possible, but it's virtually impossible considering a larger percent of the liquid is alcohol.
