Is cancer an infectious disease?
Cancer is a type of illness, not a single illness. Some kinds of cancer are caused by viruses, which are indeed spread by human to human contact. Primary and much in the news right now is the human papilloma virus that causes genital warts and can in some people cause cervical cancer. The same virus is also associated with the increase in cancers of the head, neck, and throat, and is also spread through human contact. The particular cancer is much in the news right now because there is a vaccine to immunize against it, suggested for girls ages 10 to 26, as I understand it. When it is available to give to boys, I will have my son immunized. He may not get cirvical cancer from the virus obviously, but he can pass the virus on to his partner if he becomes infected with it, and he could develop cancer of the throat as a result of having it.

Why remove leaves if going to return compost to soil?
In permaculture, you frequently do let leaves and twigs, even fallen fruit and wood, to rot in place. However, in permaculture you are also paying very close attention to what works and what doesn't, what plant combinations are bountiful and what needs better husbandry.
If you have a bit of scale, for instance, and let the leaves fall unattended, you've overwintered the scale and spread it about rather than killing it. There will be galls and insect eggs and molds that you'll allow to incubate and multiply by leaving natural leaf fall to accumulate. It is possible to do it cleanly, but not for people who simply want to save effort.
