Diseases that are not contagious are called non-infectious or non-communicable diseases because they can't be spread from one person to another. So there is no vector for them to move from one host to another. Skin cancer is caused by an environmental factors, hence it is a non-infectious disease. Diabetes is a metabolic disease in which a person has high blood sugar. Both cancer and diabetes are thus non-infectious diseses. Plague is caused by a pathogen and spreads, and can become an epidemic.
