Hi thanks for contacting HCM..

He might have lymph node cancer like lymphoma....And cancer can't spread by contact with cancer patient....

The genetic and environmental causes can lead to cancerous cell proliferation...

Here your child have no chance of spread of cancer from that man.....

One theory says that cancer cell can be implanted in non infected person by surgical instruments while surgery....

But here no chance...so don't worry.

Take care.
