No, measles is not a type of cancer. It is a highly contagious viral infection caused by the measles virus, characterized by symptoms such as fever, cough, runny nose, and a distinctive rash. Cancer, on the other hand, involves the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the body. While measles can have serious complications, it is fundamentally different from cancer in terms of its causes and mechanisms.
