Not really but i suppose there is a bit of overlap, cancer is basically just cells or a group of cells constantly replicating themselves as they forgot that they need to stop and only replicate when its time for them to replace another cell
cancer is always present in our systems but our body can usually eat the cancerous cells before anything bad happens, but when an outside force causes cells to mutate slightly such as radiation it overwhelms the bodies natural ability to prune off these cells and they reach a critical mass of replication ending up as a tumor
I don't believe my explanation is 100% accurate but it should be pretty close assuming my understanding of it was well
that is a bit of the overlap, all cells want to replicate themselves be it anything from virus, plant, or animal cells its just that plant and animal cells stop themselves from replication and sometimes forget (causing cancer) and virus cells are single celled (if you can even really call them a "cell") and have no downsides to replicating as much as they desire

The exact same thing goes for viruses.

There are no "virus" cells. No virus has ever been isolated in the history of Virology.
